Colleen Frances

Canberra based abstract artist Colleen Frances, had her parents reaching for drop sheets when she first wielded a paintbrush aged six and she has painted ever since. Originally educated in oils, Colleen found her niche working in acrylic several years ago and now focuses on creating medium and large-scale abstract acrylic pieces.

With an emphasis on texture, detail and careful use of colour, Colleen’s paintings have been described as “elegantly abstract”, “refined”, “beautifully detailed” and “offering new vignettes in changing light and with each subsequent view”.
