The FireHouse is featuring Bellingham artist Scott Ward! 

Scott creates paintings that are vibrant, yet subtle; vital and contemplative, and full of the light-hearted spirit that bridges the gap between the surreal and sublime, with images that speak not only to the eyes, but to the heart, mind and spirit as well.   

He has worked as an artist and designer in advertising, clothing design, graphic design, theater design, landscape design, interior design and murals, and has shown work at many galleries across the nation.

He has been a professional artist since 1999 when he hit the art scene in Seattle. In 2016 he moved to Bellingham.

Today, most if his time at the easel is spent creating commissioned paintings for clients  throughout the country. He also runs his own sublimation print shop.

We feature his art in the cafe as well! Feel free to check out his works for sale.
