Name
Dafila Scott
Bio
After training and working as a zoologist, Dafila Scott (dafilascott.co.uk) turned to drawing and painting. Much of her work is inspired by wildlife and landscape, featuring animals or places with which she has become familiar, including Antarctica, with which she has had a long connection (her grandfather was Robert Scott, aka ‘Scott of the Antarctic’). More recently, she has concentrated on abstract landscapes in which she tries to find an essence of place which brings together memories of past experiences with recent ones. A member of the Society of Wildlife Artists, in 2017 she won that Society’s RSPB Award.
