Fine Art Collector | Autumn 2019

As a child struggling with dyslexia, the young Scarlett expressed herself through paint. Encouraged by her art teacher, she created a world in which Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalí and Vincent Van Gogh were her friends. Their inner turmoil, self-love and courage gave her the confidence to pursue her dream of becoming an artist, and now, inspired by

their self-portraits, she has reconnected with her 11-year-old self for a heart-warming journey of rediscovery. It’s the first collection for Scarlett following her groundbreaking World War One project, The Danger Tree. Co-creator Marc has once again integrated the artworks with layers of multimedia, including

animation, graphics, music and narration – viewable with the Artivive app. The immersive augmented reality experience was showcased at the Islington and Glasgow stores of the UK’s leading art supplies retailer, Cass Art, in August and September this year. Read on to find out more!
