Samara Scott told The Guardian ‘ I can't be genuine by drawing or painting images.... For me a hair bobble or a green bean can be a really useful stroke.’

Scott won the Dazed and Confused emerging artist award in 2012 and an Arts Council Grants for the Arts bursary in 2014. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions in London, Turin, Munich, and the 2013 Venice Biennale, as well as group exhibitions in Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Chicago, New York and the Folkestone Biennale. In 2015, Scott exhibited at Jupiter Artland and Eastside Projects, Birmingham and was commissioned by Frieze Art Fair in 2015, when Artnet News described her as one of the 15 artists to watch, ‘Scott straddles the borders between disciplines – a painter in its most literal sense, a practitioner who applies her observations as motifs, emblems and veneers, and a craftswoman who creates tapestry from polypropylene weave and ersatz marquetry.’
