About James Scott Morrison
Mr. Morrison is essentially self-taught. He took art in
high school, a few evening classes and some watercolor
workshops. He works in two different mediums. One is watercolor.
The other is acrylic ink in which he does freehand line
drawings with technical pens and the inks. He has won
national awards with each medium.
Mr. Morrison's
career path to professional art was unusual. After graduating
from college with a degree in economics, he went into
the Air Force to become a pilot. He flew F-86's and RB-66's
in his nine year career. He then spent 28 years in the
aerospace industry before turning to art full time a few
years ago.
