SCOTT BALLEW

Fine art print maker Scott Ballew, the artist of B Flats Studio, is originally from Texas and today calls North Carolina home where he and his wife have raised their family. Scott studied at New York City's School of Visual Arts where he was heavily influenced by Richard Wilde, the chair of the BFA Design program and also an inductee into the One Club’s Educator’s Hall of fame.

Scott has spent some thirty years in the advertising industry. Both as a designer and creative director his work has been recognized and awarded by Communication Arts, Graphis, The One Show and the New York Art Directors Club. Scott's tenure in the ad world combined with his early years working in the design department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art taught him that his creations, whether in the form of words, images or both, should be memorable and reach the viewer on a visceral level.

His approach to serigraphy is heavily influenced by time spent working in a photographic darkroom. Both disciplines require a diligent process that can be rewarded with unexpected moments of inspiration. The creative process itself combined with the thrill of discovery are what continue to energize and propel Scott to the next artistic endeavor. In addition to B Flats Studio, Scott is also the owner and creative director of Exhibit B, a communications firm where the passion of his craft and the end product services a wide variety of clients.
