Live Art
The realism of Colleen Black's oil paintings and bronzes, brought into the room as a moment unfolds.
Inquire
The artist at the easel
Colleen Black has spent more than 35 years as a professional fine artist, working in oil and bronze with a realism you can feel. She studied painting in Italy at The Florence School of Art, and her work has travelled to galleries and shows around the world.
Painting live is one more way that craft shows itself. At a wedding or a celebration she works from life, in front of the people she is painting, and the finished original is a fine-art painting in its own right.
Colleen's inspiration for live event painting is Christopher Cook.
