About Colleen Gray

I am Colleen Gray, and I grew up in Petawawa, Ontario surrounded by a good family, great natural beauty with a wildfire imagination. My lineage is Mi'kmaq/Acadian/Irish.

I work with several mediums, one of which is watercolour and inks on synthetic paper. It's a fascinating journey into an unpredictable outcome. Each piece of work is accompanied by the story that trickled in while it was being created, or created after the fact as it revealed itself. The story is included with the Certificate of Authenticity.

 

I am available for commission and live painting events. Available work can be found on my website and in Gallery Gray located at 1127 Perth Road, Gillies Corners, Ontario inside the Personal Touch Country Gifts store.

​

Some of my artwork supports Art for Aid, a project I established in 2013 to put art supplies into remote Indigenous schools in Canada. I sell my original work so I can work as a volunteer running Art for Aid.​
