SCOTT COLLINS

Scott Collins was born on Christmas Day 1950 in Hickory Grove SC. After high school he moved to North Carolina where he worked in a gas station, operated heavy equipment and repaired appliances. In 1995 he started making figures out of wire. One of the first was an eagle. When a stranger offered good money for it, he started making more figures, some of which have been purchased to grace public places like the Charlotte Airport. He has made airplanes, chickens, fish and bears. Scott thinks of his work as a hobby and does not think of himself as an artist. His work was included in the exhibition "Wind in My Hair" in 1996 at the American Visionary Art Museum and is also included in their permanent collection.
