Welcome to Colleen's virtual studio
Artist Statement
Creative expression brings me closer to my own nature and is a portal through which I can connect with resonant others. Inspired by the eloquence of nature, I hope to reflect complexity, ambiguity and tension through texture, shape, line and color.
My specialty is layered abstracts. I layer various mediums, papers, paints and fibers. After making hundreds of small, intuitive decisions a theme will present itself. I am usually able to track the theme and finish when there is nothing more I want to add or subtract.
I am always surprised and often delighted by what evolves. Each piece is an adventure into unknown territory. I am also fascinated with what people reveal about themselves by their observations of my art.
I make art because I am committed to uncovering beauty in less than usual spaces and sharing these discoveries. I make art because art connects worlds.
