Gee Gee Collins

The organic lines and apparent whimsy of Collins’s signature style disguises the intricate creative process behind each piece. Fascinated by the interplay of colour and form, she pitches intense black lines against a palette ranging from neutral or muted shades to an almost fluorescent vibrancy. She builds the paint into a richly textured series of layers which contrasts with the ethereal quality of the subject to ground them with a sense of permanence and history.

Collins was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She studied painting at the College of Charleston and received a bachelor's degree in Fine Art from the University of Georgia before relocating to Italy to pursue her studies at the Lamar Dodd School of Art in Cortona. Her work has been shown in galleries and art fairs across the USA and adds an exciting new perspective to the Clarendon portfolio.
