Painter and multidisciplinary artist Scout Cuomo announces the launch of a new line of ornate frames made from recycled plastic, expanding her fine art practice into sustainable design and advanced manufacturing.
Based in Greenfield, Massachusetts, Scout Cuomo has spent over fifteen years creating original water-inspired paintings, custom commissioned artwork, and archival prints. Her newest body of work transforms reclaimed PET-G plastics into intricately detailed, 3D-printed frames designed to hold artwork, photography, and personal keepsakes.
Inspired by ocean forms, coral structures, mythology, and Baroque ornamentation, each sculptural frame is created from recycled plastic filament and printed in the artist’s studio. Select designs feature modular snap-together elements that allow for dimensional layering and sculptural detail.
In addition to ready-made designs, collectors can contact Scout Cuomo to create a custom recycled plastic frame that incorporates meaningful elements — from specific sea life and botanical motifs to symbolic forms that reflect personal stories. Each custom frame is developed in collaboration with the artist, allowing clients to participate in the design of a one-of-a-kind sustainable art object.
This new product line reflects Cuomo’s commitment to sustainability and circular design practices, drawing influence from global recycling initiatives such as Precious Plastic. By diverting plastic waste into functional art objects, the studio is integrating environmental responsibility with heirloom craftsmanship.
Scout Cuomo’s recycled plastic art frames are now available through Scout Cuomo Studio in Greenfield, MA and Waterway Gallery located in Turners Falls, MA.
