| Info | Scott Higgins graduated with honours from J. L. Ilsley High School in June 1987 and embarked upon a professional career as an artist. In 1990, he became affiliated with Houston North Gallery in Lunenburg where he sold art on a consignment basis throughout the year and at annual and bi-annual shows held at the Lunenburg and Halifax galleries.
In 1993, the high watermark of his artistic success, he exhibited at the Mira Godard Gallery in Toronto in a two-man show with legendary folk artist Joseph Norris. During his most active years in art (1990-1995), his art was purchased by and included in the permanent collections of the Mobil Gallery in Edmonton, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Canadian War Museum, the Nova Scotia Art Bank, Scotia Bank Collection, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and a large number of private collections in North America and Europe.
During his years as a professional artist, Scott also worked in a number of casual positions to augment his income. They included a number of labourer positions (furniture mover, carpentry assistant), technical positions (sign engineer, preperators assistant) and positions requiring good judgement and writing skills (art and craft buyer, freelance writer and columnist).
After the downturn in the art market in 1994, he decided to attend college as a full-time student. By 1995, he had saved enough money to cover all the costs of a post-secondary education. He graduated in May 1999 earning combined honours degrees in journalism and history from the University of Kings College and Dalhousie University.
Scott is now editorial co-ordinator at Progress Corp. in Halifax.
Having come up with his own set of guidelines for a political party in 1992, Scott joined the newly-formed Democratic Change Association in Janurary 1995 and became the DCA representative for Metro Halifax/Dartmouth, acting DCA president and elected full president in February 1997. He advocated the formation of a new political party based on totally democratic principles, and organized the first public meeting of the Nova Scotia Party in June 1997. Scott is now President of the Nova Scotia Party.
