About the Artist: Maritime artist Scott O. Kennedy has been hailed as the "Mariner's Artist" due to his precise execution of modern and classic sailing vessels. He credits his eye for detail to his love of sailing, a lifelong affair that began with he was growing up in and around the waters of Newport Beach, California.

His life as an artist emerged there, also. He began painting at age 13 and gained a solid reputation throughout California with his art through the dedicated management and sales representation of his mother, Dorothy Kennedy. Famed naval artist Arthur Beaumont encouraged his talent and unique style, and by 16 years of age, his work was selected to be presented to then California Governor Ronald Reagan.

Kennedy further enhanced his artistic skill by attending the renowned art school Bellas Artes de Mexico in San Miguel de Allende before traveling to Denmark in search of a traditional wooden boat to restore.

He and his wife Karen lived aboard their wooden Danish kutter Svanen for 10 years, pursuing his work in pen and ink in Denmark, Holland and Germany. Together, they learned how to rebuild this local Danish all wooden workboat with the kind helping hands and knowledge of local craftsmen. This was indeed a valuable learning experience for both of them. During this period, cities and towns lauded him for his renderings of the waterways and architecture of northern Europe, and commissioned him to do collections of drawings depicting their heritage and unique environs.

Returning to the U.S., Kennedy chronicled three America's Cup races on location in San Diego and Western Australia. He has also been the official artist of the Newport to Ensenada Yacht Race, the largest international yacht race, for 15 years.

Selected commissions include: a waterfront mural for the City of Newport, Oregon; Sir Michael Faye, New Zealand Syndicate; America's Cup; Sail America; Herreshoff Marine Museum, Rhode Island; Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival; Sail Magazine and the Avalon Tuna Club on Catalina Island, U.S.A.

Scott's painting "The Columbia and Ingomar" is featured in the new publication "Bound for Blue Water" compiled by Russell Jinishian, and his oil painting "Pilot off Point Loma" is included in the book "Gallery of Marine Artists", compiled by Jerry McClish.

J. Russell Jinishian declares "Nobody can quite sit down the way Scott Kennedy does with a simple pen and piece of paper and make sense out of all he's looking at in such a beautiful and elegant way."

Kennedy now lives and paints near Ensenada, on the coast of Baja California, Mexico.
