About CV (PDF)

Fin’es Scott is a Seattle-based narrative textile artist who explores themes of Black joy, rest, Afrofuturism, and environmentalism. Her work is the antithesis of Black trauma, which is often exploited in art and media.

Her process involves creating artwork by combining traditional craft with modern digital tools. Her process is slow and crafted with care. It involves digital collage, custom textiles, sewing, quilting, hand beading, and metal leafing. She enjoys implementing techniques of Black quilting traditions while creating methods to modernize the craft.

Scott is committed to keeping her art accessible and approachable to her community.

She studied design in New York City and has been sewing and illustrating for over 20 years.
