Scott Chenoweth is an illustrator, designer, and painter from Ventura, California whose work investigates the interplay between observation, memory, and design. Working across multiple disciplines, his recent landscape paintings—primarily created en plein air—distill natural environments into deconstructed forms and unexpected color relationships, aiming to evoke mood and atmosphere.

"Yes, And" is a series of North American landscapes painted by the artist while living on the road for a year. This exhibit is on view until 5/2/2026.

Artist Statement:

“Yes, And” features new North American landscape paintings created during a seven-month solo road trip covering 31 states, two countries, and 3,196 miles. Inspired by the improvisational idea of replacing “but” with “yes, and,” the project embraces openess, curiosity, and the belief that any moment can expand into a new adenture. I wanted to let the locations dictate the style and I found comfort in bold, design-focused compositions that emphasize the spirit of exploration on the canvas just as much as behind the wheel. As a result, the paintings suggest the essence of an environment, inviting viewers to complete the landscape through their own perception and experience rather than a literal representation.
