Scott Andrew Spencer

I am a self taught artist, currently residing in Los Angeles. I paint daily out on the balcony of my second-story condominium where I love to listen to music and delve into abstraction. I take inspiration from my immediate surroundings, real or imagined, and paint into the wee hours of the night. "That's when the energy comes." I began painting full time after a brush with cancer in 1999. I was admitted into the Pasadena Society of Artists in 2004.
Every canvas has an agenda--a life of its own separate from its maker, separate from thought or logic or reason--and to plot its course is only to interfere. To plan is to destroy. Let it paint. Trust the mess. All marks are good.
Currently I'm loving the paintings of Cecily Brown All time favorite has to be Max Beckmann
