About SCout Cuomo

The story goes that at 18 months old I taught myself to swim. I leapt from the side of the pool, and that was that. In my teens I took up scuba diving, and the underwater world has shaped my painting ever since.

After studying studio art at Smith College, I lived on a boat in Provincetown harbor, swimming every day with an underwater camera and painting from what I found below. Today I paint in layers of pigment and glaze that hold light the way water does, and I have 16 years of experience creating paintings for people’s own worlds: learning their story and their relationship to their world, then translating it into vibrant color on a canvas sized for their space.

“ All the shadows that play on the wall behind the painting is why I had to have it. I've not seen anything like it. It's so unique… It's so beautiful.... Thanks for sharing your gift with us, Scout.”

Create a Painting

Custom portraits of people and pets, and immersive paintings of the worlds you want to live inside: a vast starry sky, a coral reef, among the trees. You don’t need a fully formed idea. A feeling, a memory, a color is enough to begin.

Every commission starts with a conversation through email, and a sketch in 2-5 weeks.
