Scott Allen is a contemporary artist whose bold, colorful paintings are infused with the beauty and spirit of the water. Originally from Michigan, Allen earned his BFA in Graphic Design from Central Michigan University and continued his artistic studies at the renowned Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. His lifelong connection to Lake Michigan—especially summers spent at his family’s cottage in northern Michigan—deeply inspires his work.

Blending elements of Abstract art, Cubism, and Impressionism, Scott Allen’s signature style is defined by dynamic compositions and vivid color palettes. Each original painting is a heartfelt expression of his passion for nature, water, and the emotional depth of color. His work celebrates the natural beauty of Lake Michigan’s shoreline, capturing its serene waters, glowing sunsets, and ever-changing skies with an uplifting and energetic touch.

"Scott’s work feels like summer on canvas. There’s a joy and lightness in his colors that instantly connects people to the magic of Lake Michigan. His paintings are a celebration of nature, emotion, and energy—and they bring that same spirit into any space." — Chad Luberger, Owner, Plum Bottom Gallery
