Artist’s Statement

Colleen works at a frantic pace, exhibiting regularly and painting daily. She works in oils, acrylics and sometimes charcoal and has always been attracted to the Impressionists. She shifts from land and seascapes to still life, flora and fauna, as easily as clearing her work space and sees things mainly as shapes, which allows her to move into whichever catergory appeals at the time. At the moment she is working entirely in acrylics with her latest body of work being the parks and gardens of Toowoomba. Six of these current works along with three still lifes, are here in Margaret Street Gallery Grand Opening, where Colleen is the guest artist.
