About Ken Scott

Ken Scott – In the town of Sisters where each artist is more distinct than the next, Ken Scott stands out with his extraordinary bronze castings, wall art, lyrical lighting and garden sculptures. His creations are spectacularly realistic with intricacies and an attention to detail that surpasses most. Stepping inside his gallery truly is like being invited inside Scott’s imagination.

After experiencing many hardships and learning life’s lessons the hard way Scott was quick to forgo the 9am to 5pm routine in favor of creating. At the time he didn’t have much — but what he had was oxygen-acetylene tanks and a torch, sheet steel, a hammer and a pine stump to pound metal on. He began realizing his purpose in life by expressing his creativity through metal and designing custom pieces which he shared each week at the Eugene Saturday Market.

“My path has been just-right for me. As a person who is very spiritual, and simultaneously ‘out-of-the-box’ the lack of a proper upbringing has been an overall advantage in all aspects of my life, and self-development in particular. I use the phrase in particular since self-development turns out to have been even more important than Mistress Metal,” Scott said.

Metal work turned into a passion for Scott that has been part of him for over fifty years. There may not be another place in Oregon with such a broad and original statement in metals by an individual artist. The Imagination Gallery has volume beyond belief and each item expresses the creative dedication Scott has for his craft.
