Scott Burdick was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1967 where his mother and father early on encouraged his interest in art. "I spent a lot of time in hospitals as a child and remember while there, my mother showing me how to transform simple shapes like circles, triangles, and squares into objects like planes, helicopters, and fish. It seemed such a magical thing and made spending so much time in casts and on crutches much more bearable."
Today, Scott lives in a rural area of North Carolina with his wife, noted artist Susan Lyon. Surrounded by forests and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, their house is a perfect resting place after the many trips they take throughout the world in search of subject matter to paint.
