Creative Process: Scott Musgrove

Posted by lowpro, January 25, 2011

Seattle-based contemporary artist Scott Musgrove is a master of his craft.

This technical proficiency and fantastical creativity was on full display during his solo exhibition, How Is The Empire? (covered), with Jonathan LeVine Gallery last year. For collectors and art enthusiasts alike, […]
