State of Art: Painter Scott Clendaniel takes a lighthearted approach to his Alaska-themed paintings

This week on State of Art we’re hearing from artist Scott Clendaniel. He combines his love of the outdoors, beer and positive vibes in his work. In addition to landscapes and other Alaska scenes, when scanning through his collection of paintings, you might find X-wings from Star Wars flying over Denali, an octopus hitting up some fresh powder on skis, or local beers in the foreground of an epic background. You can find his paintings on display at Turnagain Brewing until October 6. In this episode we discuss splitting his time between Anchorage and his cabin in McCarthy, being inspired by nature and his series of beer themed paintings.
