Jayne Willoughby Scott BScN, MSc, BFA

I was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta and was raised on the Canadian prairies. After a ten year career as a nurse and nurse educator, I began pursuing art and took many fabric art and design classes from well known North American teachers. In 1990 I began exhibiting textile art and since then have participated in many national and international exhibitions, receiving several awards for color, design and workmanship.

After establishing myself as a textile artist, my attention turned to the Bachelor of Fine Arts, Art and Design program at the University of Alberta, completed 2001. In this program the focus of study was in acrylic and oil painting, drawing, figurative clay sculpture and art history.

Continued development as an artist in mixed media and textiles has been my focus for the past eight years. The annual exhibitions, regular teaching responsibilities, occasional judging at fibre art exhibitions and volunteer work on the board of a provincial arts organization keeps me very busy.
