Posted on Feb 12, 2019

This video profiles Iris Scott, a professional finger painter who transformed a unique artistic approach into a successful career. It showcases her creative process, her studio space in Brooklyn, and provides glimpses into her personal life and childhood influences.

Finger painting is often thought of as something that’s just for children, but Iris Scott has shown that you can create beautiful works of art using your fingers instead of a brush. One day while painting, artist Iris Scott realized she had run out of clean brushes. Since she only had a small mark to make on her canvas, she decided to use her fingers for the final touch. That split-second decision changed her work forever.
