Her father was the late saxophonist Raphael Ravenscroft, who played with acts like ABBA, Pink Floyd, Tina Turner and Marvin Gaye. Encouraged by her model mother, Scarlett explored her artistic side as an escape from her struggle with dyslexia. Following her first solo exhibition on Cork Street, London, at the age of just 21, her career took off and she has since been featured by titles such as ES Magazine, Tate Etc., Tatler and Time Out . Collaborations have included working with the art supplies retailer Cass Art and the English paint manufacturer Winsor & Newton. Using abstract forms, patterns and sculptural painting to imply movement, Scarlett explores the romance of nature and its ability to affect and reflect emotion. Inspired by artists like Frida Kahlo and Vincent van Gogh, she channels her own life experiences into each landscape. She is passionate about colour, often applying oil paint with her hands instead of a paintbrush.
Scarlett says: “Paint is thrown on, splattered and flicked. Spitting and dancing, it creates a whole world of magic.”
