A South Carolina artist, Alice Scott studied painting techniques at the Art Students League, New York City, as well as individual instruction with Robert Brackman, in Connecticut, and with Richard Lahey at the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C. Alice Scott also studied sculpture with both Hainz Warneke and Don Turano.
