Colleen Reynolds’ artwork captures the people, places and images encountered throughout her life and travels. She hopes that viewers will be able to personally relate to her art and respond with marvel and emotion. Colleen has a knack for capturing a person’s likeness and essence, so has completed numerous portrait commissions over the years. Though she has worked in virtually every painting and drawing medium, Colleen loves painting in oil and watercolor best.
Throughout her working years, Colleen’s overriding interest has been art. She has accrued over 200 hours in fine art studies, from college and private masters. She has joined artist cooperatives and participated in numerous artist exhibitions, fairs and shows in Utah, Virginia, and Nevada.
Colleen does business as an artist and writer through her company, CRB Endeavors. She has a Masters degree in Education, a Bachelors degree in Applied Mathematics, and just finished a Bachelors of Fine Art with the University of Utah. In previous lives, Colleen completed a 20-year U.S. Navy career and taught corporate, college and university courses. While the life paths may seem divergent, her interest in art has been a passion hovering below all along.
