Artist Bio: Coleen Duffy



Coleen Duffy
Pastels and oils are the mediums Colleen Duffy prefers. A variety of subjects attract her interest, including portraits and landscapes. Colleen has undertaken several portrait commissions, exhibited and sold on a number of group exhibitions but most of all Colleen simply enjoys painting and belongs to several art groups.

Conservation Statement
Born in Zimbabwe and always concerned about the environment, I have become increasingly distressed by the cruel killing of rhinos and elephants to satisfy human vanity, greed and superstition. Concerned conservationists scattered through Africa struggle to stop this senseless slaughter. They are desperate for any financial assistance we can offer.”

Creating for Conservation
Colleen is exhibiting in the Creating for Conservation Art Exhibition 2012. The pieces [pictured] are representative of her work. The pieces Colleen chooses to exhibit will be available for purchase at the C4C2012 Exhibition only [no online sales].

Proceeds from C4C2012 are dedicated to Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust - Zambia.

Please come along on the opening night on 2nd November or over the weekend 2nd November to 4th November to see Colleen’s work and that of the other fantastic contributing Artists.
