Colleen Guiney
ARTIST STATEMENT
Colleen’s paintings represent the physical act of painting and the inner calmness that occurs when she paints. In the making of her paintings, she expresses something that is felt rather than observed and has developed a methodology through layers of texture, colour and intuitive marks and shapes that reference the natural landscape around her. Colour is the most important element of her work and getting it right is key to knowing when a painting is working, or when it is finished. “I find myself spending more time in nature than ever before and it has become the ultimate inspiration for the work. Here I share the trees, the sea, the hills through my interior landscape.
