​Colleen’s practice is guided by a process driven approach as she explores the relationship between surface and paint, with subconscious thought, chance and spontaneity playing a vital role in her making. Balancing landscape and abstraction, her work reflects personal narratives and a deep engagement with her environment.

Currently completing a Master of Fine Art at RMIT University and entering her second year, Colleen divides her time between living on Gunditjmara Country / Port Fairy, on the south-west coast of Victoria and Melbourne, spending half of her week in each place. This dual existence informs her practice and charges her art with contrasting experiences she can draw on.
