"Semper Fidelis" Personalized Officer Marine Corps Art

Scott was born in 1947 in Detroit, Michigan. By an early age, Scott's parents, teachers, and fellow classmates all recognized his outstanding artistic talent. He dazzled everyone with his natural gift of drawing with exact precision and amazing accuracy. Growing up, Scott would occasionally take art classes, but sooner or later was always told the same thing by his teachers, "There is nothing more we can teach you. In fact, you should be teaching us!"

As Scott matured, another distinct quality set him apart from his peers; his enthusiastic patriotism and unwavering love of country. As a teenager he set his heart on becoming an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Scott achieved that goal in 1969 and went on to serve in Vietnam. He was honorably discharged in 1972. Although his artistic talent and patriotism were clearly evident, a third thing would eventually characterize and come to define the man Scott B. Mills. That was his love of God. Scott was a Christian and his faith was reflected in his artwork.

Remarkably, these three elements in Scott's life came together to produce a business of which he was immensely proud. Scott was keenly aware his art ability was a God-given gift and he passionately used it to honor and dignify all military veterans and the men and women of the police and fire-fighting professions.

One of Scott's greatest joys was to hear the war stories of those he painted. He counted it a privilege to listen to their tales of courage and valor and his heart's desire was to, through his work, pay homage to those who so deeply deserve our recognition and respect. Scott was married to Gail and they have three children: Michelle, Merilee, and David. Sadly, in May of 2007, Scott was killed in an automobile accident in the San Bernardino Mountains near his home in Redlands, California.

Today, the family of Scott B. Mills is proud to continue his life's work through this website.
