About
BIOGRAPHY
Regina Scully lives and paints in the Lower Ninth Ward, Holy Cross, neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. Scully was born in Norfolk, Virginia and received her B.F.A. in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design and her M.F.A. in Painting from University of New Orleans.
Scully is a recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant Award in 2017. Her solo exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art, titled Regina Scully/Japanese Landscape: Inner Journeys, was on view April 6 – October 15, 2017, and Scully’s second solo exhibition at C24 Gallery in New York was on view November 2, 2017 – January 6, 2018. Scully’s paintings are in private and public collections including the Microsoft Art Collection (2010, 2013), the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation Collection, and the New Orleans Museum of Art (2014, 2016).
Regina has attended the Hermitage Artist Retreat Residency Program in Manasota Beach, Florida three times since first receiving the award in 2015 and continues to find her time spent by the ocean in this location a great source of inspiration.
Scully’s paintings and paper pieces were on view December 4-9, 2018 at Art Miami, C24 Gallery and at Scope, Octavia Art Gallery.
