Colleen Dockstader

Whether it's painting, sculptures, or drawings, my work is an abstract form of visual language that allows me to communicate with the viewer in a way that I cannot do with words. You will find my variety of styles and materials reflect this evolving process. All of my work is grounded in the belief that humans have a basic need for connection: that relationships form the very foundation of our personal growth and development. My work depicts stages of both deep connection and unsettling disconnection; some pieces are more literal than others. Every piece I create contains a story that is palpable to me. It is my hope that my pieces convey an intensity that is also palpable to you.
