Artist in Residence
Dafila Scott is the daughter of the late Sir Peter Scott.
‘Most of my work is inspired by wildlife, figures and landscapes. It features animals or places with which I have become familiar. It includes both figurative wildlife paintings and abstract landscapes inspired by visits to Wales, the Kalahari and Antarctica. However, I’m equally happy to gain inspiration at home in the garden or on the surrounding fenland.’
