First part of my blog about Eyeing Medusa — introducing myself, Amanta Scott — a Canadian visual artist and musician; and answering the question: why do I, as a self-identified settler person, engage with social issues as an Artist?

A new blog about each of my encaustic portraits and installations as they relate to artworks in collections worldwide. Each post will centre on one or more of the artworks and explore the titles, stories and connections I see between ancient images and contemporary issues; as well as highlight the amazing women who inspired me!

Eyeing Medusa is a new project by Amanta Scott commencing with a series of encaustic paintings of admirable women.

An amazing group of people participated in Amanta Scott’s workshop for Parallel Lines art installation and social engagement project.

Paintings are progressing Amanta Scott’s workshop for Parallel Lines art installation and social engagement project.
