Hi! I’m Scout Dunbar, a Tucson-based visual artist. My work captures the enchantment of our world by crafting whimsical Interpretations OF THE PLACES THAT ENRICH OUR LIVES.
Growing up in a family of female artists, I learned the profound significance of creating and embracing art from an early age. I hold a deep belief in its ability to enhance lives, and my passion lies in making art that both explores and ignites the human spirit.

Road to Reno Commission
Some of my favorite pieces to work on are large commissions. I’m particularly excited by this one as it will be permanently installed in the ICU wing of a new hospital in Reno, Nevada! I’m a firm believer in the healing nature of art, and I hope that this work will provide a moment of peace and comfort for patients and their loved ones.

Trampled by Turtles x Scout Dunbar
One of my most exciting projects from last year was working with the band Trampled by Turtles to create the artwork for their new album, Alpenglow. Not only were they an absolute pleasure to work with, their music inspired the entire design of this piece.
Interested in Custom Artwork?
Consider commissioning a piece! Some of my favorite projects are those for clients with a vision of their own. Commissions allow for us to work together to come up with artwork that fits your space, vision, and budget. If you are interested in collaborating or commissioning work, please reach out and we can discuss your ideas.
Art is for Everyone
Becoming an art collector can be intimidating. I believe art should be experienced by everyone, regardless of their budget. I’m excited to offer archival prints and payment plans to help improve the experience of purchasing art.
Reach out here or email hello@scoutdunbar.com to inquire about payment plans.
