Scott JaquithI was born and raised in Boca Raton, Florida, where I spent most of my time at the beach and in the ocean—surfing, fishing, and snorkeling. I was introduced to art by my grandfather at an early age and made up my mind to follow art as a career. I attended and graduated from the College of Santa Fe, where I studied studio arts and honed my skills as an illustrator. It was at the College of Santa Fe that I fell in love with the Southwest and New Mexico in particular.

After graduating in 2002, I returned to South Florida, where I worked as a graphic artist and designer for several small printing companies and learned the business of printing and creating pre-press artwork for reproduction. After several years in South Florida, I realized that I missed living in New Mexico and became determined to return to Santa Fe. I was lucky enough to find and then be offered the job of graphic artist here at the Office of Archaeological Studies.

My goal as an OAS employee is to produce the best quality artwork for reproduction in reports and promotional material. Since I began in November 2008, I have been working on illustrations for the Peña Blanca and Twin Lakes projects. I have also been working with OAS volunteers to photograph artifacts for projects including the Santa Fe Convention Center, the Santa Fe Railyard, and the Palace of the Governors. Recently I was asked to design a new logo for the OAS Education Outreach Program and will be working on printed material for the Museum of New Mexico's exhibit on the 400th anniversary of the founding of Santa Fe. My time at OAS has been exciting and productive, and I look forward to many years of service in the future.
