Artist Bio:

regions of Brisbane, Australia. He held his first Solo Exhibition at the age of 24.
His early career was guided by his father respected Queensland artist Eric. Colley has
held over 25 Solo Exhibitions and many magazine articles, books and DVD &rsquo S published.
He has long believed " It is not what you paint but how you paint it ". He sees himself
as a painter of light, aiming to paint with precision to convey the purest message possible
and striving to capture spontaneous loose impressions each time he returns to his easel.
He is at his happiest professionally when he is painting full of confidence using his
brush like Zorro would wield his trusty sword, dashing in marvelous darks, highlights
and rendering each painting with as much skill and accuracy as possible. He loves nothing
more than the challenge of pushing himself to find new subjects to paint. In the near
future he will revisit and travel to the USA, Italy, France, New Zealand, United Kingdom
and new locations like China, Russia & Greece. He is happy to carry the tag as one of
Australia &rsquo s finest young Impressionist painters. Colley has a strong belief that he is
not copying nature but giving expression to visual ideas.
