(1891 – 1972)
Scottie Wilson is an internationally-known Canadian outsider artist. He was born in London, moved to Glasgow, and left school at age 8 to sell newspapers and patent medicines on the street. He served in WWI. Little is known about Wilson until he turned up in Toronto, Ontario, in the 1930s. He eked out a living by selling odds and ends in a junk shop and began drawing with his special pen.

Scottie’s artwork is featured in many books and journals and held in many international collections, including the Collection de L’Art Brut, Lausanne; Tate Modern, London; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
