COLETTE’S ARTIST STATEMENT: My paintings aim to portray both inner and outer realities. Whether rendered clearly or referenced obliquely, water, rocks and foliage are my artistic focus. I find these subjects beguiling, becoming the ‘doors’ through which I explore. More than mere depictions, the paintings are expressions of my discoveries. While remaining grounded in realism, I love creating passages of paint where one can get lost without concern for naming and words. I invite the viewer to respond with their own perceptions and appreciations of the mysterious beauty revealed in the humblest of scenes. And, since I use pastels and watercolor, I’m charmed to be using the same elements of dust and water that I am drawn to paint. These images might be anywhere, but they are now always in my heart. I hope they speak to yours
