Colleen J Dyson AFCA SCA

Being born and raised in the heart of the Okanagan Valley has offered Colleen many areas of inspiration. Her technique is still evolving. Painting realism for the first few years and earning a few awards was inspiring, but the need to push and grow was overwhelming for her at times. Changing her medium to oils at this time was beneficial and she has never looked back.

Her travels to Costa Rica and the Canadian West Coast have inspired her to step out of her comfort zone completely. Initially painting Still Life and Florals, she is now on to boats, seascapes, vineyards and waterways. She and her work are works-in-progress and will be for some time as she works to bring her new favourite big brushes to her painting style. Teaching various workshops has added another element to her craft.

Colleen holds memberships in several art organizations, and heads up a local art group. Her work can be found on numerous online Art Societies as well as in private and corporate collections in Canada, the United States, Costa Rica, and the United Kingdom, and has been featured in a variety of publications.
