Scott spent most of her life in rural New South Wales, the childhood years in the Monara highlands, then the Central Western higlands. After marriage, she, with her farmer husband, combined raising a family of five children, art courses, farming, community activities and the completion of an Arts Degree by external study. After moving to Sydney in 1986, where she lived and worked until retirement, Scott undertook formal art training, graduating from the National Art School, East Sydney in 1999. Her work reflects her rural influences and the spiritual qualities of landscape. These range from the granite outcrops, gorges, rugged bush of the highlands to the tall straight timbers and seascapes of the South Coast: the areas showing human occupation such as sites of early setters' cottages now in ruin or the magical "dells" of clearings in deep scrub. Scott is concerned always with the nexus between the physical environment and development of personality.  This theme is further explored through still life and interiors where she examines the individual's sense of place and responses to nature, culminating in the creation of unique personal spaces.
