Scott Conary

Scott Conary, raised in the suburbs of the East Coast, attended the Rhode Island School of Design. He now lives with his family in Portland, Oregon, where he creates oil paintings that explore the quiet power of the everyday. His subjects—broken eggs, stubborn weeds, weathered doors—are familiar objects pulled from their usual contexts, revealing the tension between beauty and decay, memory and neglect. Through these images, Conary invites viewers to reflect on the fragile narratives woven into our lives: stories of melancholy, fleeting triumph, and the resilience hidden in ordinary things.

This deep attention to the overlooked is fueled in part by personal experience. Conary’s young daughter was born with complex heart defects, and her ongoing experience with disability has profoundly shaped his view of the world. Her strength, and the impact of her journey on those around her, has directed his artistic focus toward the nuances and emotional weight of the everyday. It is this perspective that drives his commitment to representational painting—not as nostalgia, but as a means of storytelling.

Conary shares his passion for painting and storytelling through lectures and workshops offered across the country and online. He lives with his family in Portland, Oregon, where the rich textures of everyday life continue to inspire his work.
