I like Matisse's painting The Life of the Rose as it symbolises a happy life, maybe a simpler life lived peacefully. My mum loved roses and the house we now live in is called Rose Cottage. Over time I have found that I want to express the profusion of life around us in the countryside. Most days when I walk my dogs we pass a beautiful old rose which is growing in a field it's scent is delicious it once grew in the garden of a cottage that was built on the land which has now completely gone. The people, the building all gone but the rose survives. These are some of the thoughts that brought this image to life. It is painted on canvas stretched on a wooden frame.

Hello, my paintings are about our relationship to nature, plants and animals. I start with a blank canvas and no plan. The images come through many changes. I use a combination of acrylic paint and oil bar on canvas and I stretch my own canvases. For me images of animals often appear and I think they relate to archetypal imagery and our collective conscious. I believe Picasso was right when he wanted to achieve that child like spontaneity and I just love colour, I paint as much for the pleasure of seeing colours as to express my feelings for the natural world. The painter and gallery owner John Lyons wrote about my work: "Colleen..., remains intuitive in composition and colour. She expresses in her work an affinity to animals in a way that invites the invention of mythological stories with hints of the archetypes. Her paintings are visual fantasies with an innocent sense of awe." I paint in a shed in my garden. Thanks to the people who are buying and favouriting my work. I really appreciate it.
