Biography

Born and raised in New Orleans, artist Ayo Scott graduated from Xavier University in 2003 with a focus on graphic design. Graduate studies at the Institute of Design in Chicago were interrupted in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina, after which he moved back to New Orleans, helped renovate damaged homes, started a design company, NOYO Designs, and gradually drifted from commercial graphic design to making his own art. “My subject is now focused,” he says, “on ways to celebrate the defenders of the spirit of New Orleans.”
