These powerful, multigenerational women are asking the viewer with their eyes you to stand with them or dare to be against them. The camera’s angle it pointing down on them, but these women are anything but below you. We are women first. If we understand ourselves as mothers, daughters, sisters, friends first we can connect across boundaries. Depending on the viewer's point of view this can feel either powerful (if you relate to the subjects) or confrontational (if you feel threatened). The artist, Colleen Walsh, has developed her use of line to create texture, pattern, and dimension over years of practice. Using pen and ink to develop the multitudes of hair textures, textiles, shadows, and faces is a constant process of creativity and confidence for the artist. Each character is developed with respect and lovelike qualities, as Walsh strives to make them beautiful and powerful. The background color field creates strong contrast, pigment and style wise.

Fun and leisure find an oasis in her abstract sceneries and relationships flourish amongst saturated hues. Utilizing the aura of good times and love documented in found imagery, Walsh’s paintings elaborate on the visual narrative and appeal to the universal experience of the human condition. Colleen Walsh paints new works of art, picking up where a photographer left off, from her decades-old, ever expanding collection of other people's photographs. Colleen Walsh (b.1982) is a fine artist and maker thriving on the Southside of Chicago. Her paintings are mixed media, ranging from spray paint to oils. Her work weaves figures into abstract atmospheres, that vibrate with saturated pinks, blues, and neon colors (among others). These colors serve as a beacon of joy amidst winter months, temper tantrums, and the volatile politics of our time. A constant inspiration for her work is extended family, friends, and dogs (who live in close proximity). Walsh’s work revolves around the themes of relationships, family dynamics, and beauty in mundanity. Her studio, in the basement of her single-family home, is a haven where she works away from her full-time parenting job. Her dogs keep her feet warm and her work intends to stay on the sunny side of life.
