Rodger Scott  "I have always loved wildlife and watercolours, so I suppose it was inevitable that after I started watercolour classes in 1987, it would eventually lead to me doing paintings which included some form of wildlife. I find myself attracted to the small animals and birds and this is reflected in my work, which tends to feature these subjects, as well as some of the endangered species. Most of my work is of Australian fauna, but visits to the USA and Canada have opened up a whole new range of subjects for me to paint. Each year for the last 12 years, I have travelled to the USA to partake in many wildlife art workshops featuring great wildlife artists  from around the world including Robert Bateman (Canada), John Seerey-Lester (UK) Kobus Moller (South Africa), Greg Beecham (USA), Carl Brenders from Belgium, Adele Earnshaw and Joe Garcia both from the USA and Simon Combes from Kenya. In 2004 I attended the "Young Guns" wildlife art workshop in Montana, which featured five different wildlife artists, namely John Banovich, Daniel Smith, Matthew Hillier, Terry Isaacs and Paco Young. Images of my work have appeared in a number of Victorian RSPCA Calendars. In 2005 &2006 I was fortunate enough to have paintings selected for exhibition and sale in the prestigious Arts for the Parks art show in Wyoming. My paintings now hang in both public and private collections in Australia and in private collections in many overseas countries. Over the years I have been lucky enough to win many prizes and awards. They are listed below."
