North Dakota Council on the Arts (NDCA) is exhibiting an eye-catching collection of photos by life-long North Dakota resident and Fine Art Landscape Photographer Scott Seiler on the 18th, or observatory floor, of the Capitol Building through December 2022. From the rolling prairies to nature's wildflowers and farming fields, Seiler's work documents the beauty of nature from his own unique perspective. The show will compliment nature's own fall exhibit of Bismarck which will soon be visible from the expansive windows, in addition to the display of historical photos of the Capitol building from over the years.

Artist Biography
Scott Seiler grew up on a ranch near Raleigh and currently resides in Fargo. Seiler specializes in original photography, prints, framed art, canvas and metal wall art, greeting cards and commissioned work.

As a fine art landscape photographer, Scott Seiler's perspective is shaped by his love of rural architecture and cropland. He features panoramas and close-ups of Midwestern landscapes. Whether its cropland, rustic buildings or the wonders of nature, the final perspective is designed to make the viewer ponder and remember. Seiler positions his camera and uses what’s in front of him - perhaps the parallel lines of a barn roof or those of a barb wire fence - all to lead the viewer’s eye toward the vanishing point, helping to underscore the vastness of the landscape.

Now a lead marketing specialist at Sanford Health, Seiler began his career as a broadcast journalist. He transferred his passion for videography to still photography. He is on exhibit widely throughout the region and is currently president and partner member at Gallery 4, a 17-member artist cooperative in Fargo. Seiler serves as a board member of The Arts Partnership and was previously on the board of Fargo Moorhead Visual Artists. He was recently named the "2022 FMVA Artist of the Year.”
