At school Scarlett achieved a qualification in Fine Art, Textiles, Photography and History of Art at school. She then studied Classics at Newcastle University before doing a Foundation in Art and Design at City & Guilds. Most recently Scarlett earned a Masters at Chelsea College of Art. The mum-of-two is a contemporary artist who specialises in colourful fabric collages. In an interview with King and McGaw curator Becca Pelly-Fry, she said of her creative process: "I take forever to make these collages in my mind and physically on the table." And Scarlett explained to Floorr Magazine why she makes the type of art she does. "Incorporating a wide range of materials has always been part of my process," she said. "I can trace this back to the very beginning really, I didn't have much spare cash to be buying expensive art-related materials and so I made work with stuff I found all over the place - from literally around the house to skips, to discarded builders materials on the streets etc. "As a kid I used to collage old magazine scraps and I returned to this hobby when I left University, just in my spare time. This 'collage' based approach developed to collaging found items and cheap materials purchased from local hardware and pound shops and as a result, this has naturally developed into a distinctly utilitarian-based aesthetic." Scarlett married husband Rob Colicci in a lavish ceremony in Portofino, Italy, in 2016. After saying 'I do,' their friends and family gathered to watch the newlyweds as they){kind=link}
