Scott Hayes was born in Idaho but has enjoyed living in Montana most of his life. He is a self-taught artist and has been doing art since he was a little boy. He attended college as a graphic artist but returned to his first love of wildlife and western art.
Scott enjoys all outdoor activities, including working with horses. These activities give him first hand experience for all the ideas he uses in his artwork. Every time Scott is in the mountains or on the plains, there is a story to be told. These stories are seen through his art.
