ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I have been drawing stylised horse shapes for a while this pony seemed to fit the canvas really well. It is a stylised pony with abstract marks making up the mane. It reminds me of something old possibly an art work from the past but I'm not sure which one. It looks a little like a Shetland pony and I could have been inspired by the ones that live near me. The pony is blue maybe because it is in the twilight or has been inspired by those blue horses by Franz Marc and the Blue Rider. The fox was a little harder to find and went through a few transformations before I arrived at a character I was happy with. The outline is created using sgraffito. My paintings are not planned in advance the images arrive through working with the paint until I uncover an image that resonates with me. They are meant to be easy on the eye and pleasing.

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.
