Randall Scott is an internationally known wildlife artist who takes you on
exciting adventures through his intriguing art of the underwater world.
A native Californian and accomplished diver, Randall grew up fascinated by
Jacques Cousteau’s adventures and “Sea Hunt”. He spent most of his youth
exploring the Pacific Coast and his fascination with oceanography and sea
life grew and still grows with every dive.
Diving gear became a part of Randall’s life at a very young age.
Implementing creative parenting skills, Randall’s father gave him his first
diving mask to assist in making “bathtime” a more pleasant experience.
Little did he know the significance of his technique.
Randall’s Passion for art was fuelled by his father who was himself a highly
recognized Western landscape artist and his mother, a watercolor artist. In
addition to passing on their natural talents, they shared with him many
techniques, helped him explore varied styles and introduced him to other
skilled artists. Art, like diving, gave Randall freedom and discovery of
his own skills.
Randall has successfully combined these two diverse pursuits in his work.
After years of honing his artistic and diving skills, he is considered one
of today’s finest underwater and marine artist. Offering a truly authentic
and sensitive account of the underwater world, his ultimate goal with each
new painting is to bring audiences under the water surface. Randall paints
underwater scenes realistically, "I want to give people an opportunity to
see ocean life as it really is, as if you would be going down with a mask
for the first time". He searches his subjects through observation and
underwater photography. His travels have taken him all over the world. From
his native California , to Australia, the South Pacific, the Caribbean Sea
and Florida .
From his trips to Truk (scene of hellish World War II fighting) and Palau,
in Micronesia came the inspiration for a series of underwater World War II
era airplane wrecks that have become quite popular. These airplanes include:
a P-51, a Japanese Zero, a P-38, a B-25 Bomber, a Dauntless Dive Bomber, a
P-40, a ME-109, and a F4U Corsair. For a serious scuba diver, diving these
wrecks is more exciting than anything other than perhaps finding a wrecked
Spanish Galleon.
Randall’s work is featured at both art and scuba shows and has been shown in
many of the finest artistic, wildlife and diving magazines all over the
world.
Randall also contributed to two books: “Wildlife Painting Step by Step” and
“Wildlife, the Artist’s view” and “The Best of Wild Life Art“.
Randall and his wife Donna currently reside in Florida.
