"Linear Perception is so limited in it's ability to grasp 'higher' truths. What I'm doing with my painted sculpture is developing a new visual language to reach beyond the boundaries of time, space and solitary perspective."
- Scott McNeill

When his Peace Corps service ended in September of 1994, Scott was invited to apprentice relief woodcarving in the workshop of a renowned Honduran woodcarver and worked there for an additional two years. Scott learned quickly. He began painting his carved sculptures, and the town's artisans recognized him for having 'una gracia' (a gift).

Scott returned to the United States in the fall of 1996, and almost immediately his painted sculptures took a big creative leap forward. He began painting a different level of composition on top of the sculpted figures, resulting in a unique art style of intertwining layers and transcendent subject matter. Scott has been developing and refining this new multiple dimensional art form for more than twelve years now.
