Scott Saw, a San Diego County based multimedia artist, is a designer by day and a painter by night. Balancing pixels and brush strokes is challenging and has lead to unique art that addresses the gray area that exists between nature and machine. The dissonance between high-tech and no-tech is a theme that continually resonates in his work.

Scott Saw currently works as Art Director for Kinzan, Inc., a Carlsbad based technology company and runs Sawblade Design, a freelance design venture that works with artists, musicians and companies to provide web sites, identity, motion graphics, Illustration and CD package art/design. Saw spends much of his recent time in the studio making oil paintings. His paintings have recently been shown in many galleries including La Luz de Jesus (Los Angeles), Emporium Gallery, The Muse (San Diego), 111 Minna, Culture Cache, Start Soma (San Francisco).

Scott works with many different mediums and references. Recent paintings based on orchids contain a combination of oil paint and spray paint. The organic forms of the flowers have been reinterpreted and depicted as space-age mutants, aliens and rocket ships. One significant source of his inspiration stems from treasure hunting at yard sales, thrift stores or select scrap bins for that 'special something' that uniquely embodies an idea. Found object projects include interactive mirror installations and paintings on vintage thermo trays, old school movie screens, and high-tech scrap.
