Scott Higgins is a Canadian folk artist whose distinctive carvings and paintings capture the heart and humor of rural life in the Maritimes. Self-taught, Higgins has a deeply personal approach to his work, creating lively, animated sculptures of animals, people, and everyday scenes that reflect the charm and whimsy of folk traditions.

Higgins’ work is characterized by bold colors, exaggerated forms, and a playful energy that gives his pieces a storytelling quality. His wooden carvings, often featuring exaggerated facial expressions and humorous details, have made him a standout in the contemporary folk art scene. His paintings, on the other hand, bring a strong sense of nostalgia, portraying fishing villages, working harbors, and local wildlife in a style that feels both familiar and unique.

Higgins has exhibited his work at folk art festivals and galleries across Canada, where collectors appreciate his ability to capture the spirit of small-town life in an engaging, expressive manner. His work continues to grow in popularity, with pieces held in private collections throughout North America.
