In a related series, Scruggs paid homage to one of her beloved horses who had died by photographing the natural process of decay of the corpse.
Scruggs is a founding member of Stare Studio along with Melissa Springer and Karen Graffeo.
Scruggs is listed in "Famous People" (of Birmingham, Ala.), which includes people in politics, sports and the arts.
