Creativity
A heartfelt exploration of curiosity, collaboration, and the joy of quiet discovery.
Creativity captures a young boy engrossed in the act of drawing, inspired by the artist’s son and his innate sense of curiosity and imagination. This painting celebrates the beauty of creative exploration and the value of collaboration.
In Creativity, a young boy sits on a wooden bench under a bright blue sky, intently focused on his drawing. The surrounding compositions include actual sketches created by the artist’s son at the age of 10, making this painting a deeply personal collaboration. The boy’s posture and expression reflect his immersion in the quiet process of creating, a moment of pure exploration and discovery.
The painting draws additional inspiration from the Eight of Pentacles tarot card, symbolizing dedication, skill, and the value of consistent effort. This connection reinforces the narrative of the painting, highlighting the importance of nurturing curiosity and honing creativity, especially in formative years.
The simple, sunlit setting evokes a sense of tranquility, drawing attention to the universality of creative expression and the way it connects generations. Creativity serves as a tribute to the imaginative spirit and the profound connections that can be fostered through shared artistic journeys.

Windows Within: Universal Narratives in Fractured Realism
This body of work by Deborah Scott explores the profound connections between personal stories and shared human experiences. Through a series of conversations and interviews with individuals from diverse backgrounds, Scott uncovers intimate narratives of struggle, resilience, and triumph. These seemingly unique moments are transformed into powerful works of art, revealing their universality and the interconnectedness of all human experiences.
Each painting in Windows Within serves as both a reflection and a revelation, embodying Scott’s belief that art is a mirror to the complexities of identity and existence. Her work draws on the psychological framework of Johari’s Window, exploring the interplay between the visible and hidden aspects of the self. By blending classical techniques with intentional disruptions—rips, tears, and abstract shapes—Scott creates a dynamic visual language that captures the fragmented, evolving nature of contemporary life.
Windows Within is an emotional and visual journey, inviting viewers to see themselves in the stories of others and to consider the profound universality of human connection.
