Colleen Anne Burns
San Francisco, CA
Colleen allows the process of painting to reveal and document her memories of nature. Colleen’s paintings, with their gestural brushstrokes, colorful palate, and unique use of materials, give the impression of childlike spontaneity. Interested in the renewing cycle of California’s subtle, yet vibrant passing seasons, Colleen’s work conveys a sense of joy in the process of discovery.
