Hello, I’m Scotty. I am an exhibition maker, artist, and author based in Washington, DC. My work explores the building arts as a medium for storytelling and spatial experience. That, and I’m passionate about art and design.
Raised on a farm in Pennsylvania, I developed an early fascination with buildings and history, inspired by its 1845 farmhouse and 1700s log barn. I studied architecture at the University of Kentucky before relocating to Washington, D.C., where I worked at a boutique firm on residential, educational, and hospitality projects. Later, my career shifted to exhibition design, earning a graduate degree from the Corcoran College of Art + Design and building a career that bridges architecture, interpretation, and public engagement.
I have contributed to over 100 exhibitions in various roles, with expertise in exhibition planning and design, visual communication, program development, and audience engagement. Whether working at a design firm, gallery, or museum, I am drawn to creative opportunities that inspire curiosity through storytelling and spatial experiences.

The photo shows Lambert Weiss (1866–1945), my great-great-grandfather, who emigrated from Alsace, France, to America in 1890. Originally a machinist, he ran a successful greenhouse in Colmar, Pennsylvania, called L. Weiss & Son, a partnership with my great-grandfather, Joseph.

That’s me, of course, superimposed onto a photo of my grandparents’ farmhouse from 1919, when it was the home of John and Mary Eyler. Originally from Montgomery County, my grandparents moved to the 120-acre farmstead in 1960. It's a special place that continues to create lasting memories for my family. Courtesy of Thomas Clowney.
