Story: They are the last line of defense that stands between an insatiable hunger and what we love and call our own. Those who stand at the mouth of the fire are warriors of impressive courage willing to do what so many cannot. What thoughts do they think when a wall of water rises up to quell the hungry fire that would consume them? We are grateful.

Colleen Gray – Indigenous Artist | Ottawa Valley
Colleen Gray is an Indigenous artist based in the Ottawa Valley near Franktown, Ontario. Through her captivating works on synthetic and watercolour paper, Colleen offers a powerful visual tribute to the First Peoples of Turtle Island (North America). Her art explores Indigenous ways of knowing, interconnection with nature, and peaceful coexistence with all life on our beautiful blue planet.
A trailblazer in her medium, Colleen has pioneered unique techniques using watercolour and ink on synthetic paper—a surface traditionally reserved for alcohol inks. This innovative approach produces vibrant colour, fluid movement, and mesmerizing detail. Each piece invites the viewer to look deeper, sparking imagination and deeper learning about Indigenous culture and traditions. Colleen also works in the traditional watercolour style on paper.
Whether you’re an art collector, gallery curator, or simply a lover of meaningful and soulful expression, Colleen’s work speaks to the heart and spirit.
