Early life

Scott Walker, born in 1996 in Massachusetts, is a New York City based artist specializing in traditional fiber craft techniques, particularly embroidery. His artwork features a deliberately feminine aesthetic, characterized by soft materials and a gentle sensibility. Through his art, Scott delves into the experiences of queer individuals navigating a heteronormative society, often finding solace in vibrant and fantastical realms. He explores the profound connection queer people have with pop cultural figures who embody the vivid and imaginative world of their fantasies. These icons and avatars, found in CDs, movies, and magazines, serve as vehicles for expressing femininity and communicating aspects of their identities.Scott earned a BFA in Fine Art from Parsons School of Design in 2018. His work has been showcased in group exhibitions both in the United States and internationally. In March 2023, Scott was an artist in residence at the Wassaic Project, and in May 2023, he will be a resident artist at the Peter Bullough Foundation. Notably, Scott collaborated with MTV in April 2021, creating three original artworks and social media posts for the brand. His work has garnered attention from various media outlets, including The Boston Globe and The Harvard Crimson.
