On view from Sept 22 – Oct 30 | 2011 IMAGO will feature paintings and drawings by founding member
Eileen Siobhan Collins that explore the concept of mark making, signature and identity.
In her work, Collins incorporates simple shapes and bold marks along with a diffident use of color and repetition to pose questions about identity and meaning. Collins lives and works in Warren, RI, where her studio is located. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rhode Island College and has shown in open juried shows throughout Rhode Island in addition to regularly showing at IMAGO.
