About Colleen O'Shea

Art has always played a key role in my life.

Having graduated from Queen's University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and now a graduate from Algonquin College with a Photography diploma, I can confidently say that I am dedicated to art and design. I have always been able to see beauty in the world around me, to see things in a way that others might overlook.

Currently, I am working as a professional Picture Framer. Everyone has something in their life that they want to show off, and it’s my job to design something just as special. I have even started to experiment with new designs, incorporating old techniques with new technologies and ideas. It is very refreshing to be working in a creative job, where I can grow my own styles and knowledge while enhancing works of art.

I started with painting - and continued it into my Fine Arts degree. Lately, I have been experimenting with new mediums and styles. My love of colour remains, however. I have continued to keep up with photography as well, as I am always on the lookout for an exciting shot.

I have also recently stepped into the world of graphic design and digital painting. While I have been trained in traditional styles, teaching myself the process of creating work digitally has been a wonderful and rewarding experience. My work is constantly evolving as I learn new skills and techniques.
