Briana Corr Scott is een kunstenaar en auteur die schilderkunst, illustratie en het geschreven woord combineert. Haar werk duikt diep in de schoonheid van de natuurlijke wereld, met een focus op de minuscule, over het hoofd geziene details van de kustlijn van Nova Scotia. Scott werkt voornamelijk met olieverf en gouache, waarbij haar kunst en verhalen geïnspireerd zijn door directe observatie van de natuur en haar persoonlijke ervaringen. Na een belangrijke residentie in Ierland begon ze op speelse wijze haar olieverfschilderijen, illustraties en gedichten samen te voegen tot magische stop-motion animaties. Haar kinderliteratuur bevat vaak papieren poppenseries naast verhalen en gedichten geïnspireerd door haar wandelingen in de natuur.
