Considering You - Homeless Man
Acrylic on bristol paper; reference: photograph by Pedro Oliveira
Artist: Constance Colter
Constance (Connie) Colter was raised in the rain and trees of the Oregon Cascades, and while in high school, homesteaded with her family in British Columbia. She now lives and has her studio in Gladstone, OR. As an artist, her work bears witness to the complexity of being alive. Her art focuses on personal insight, identity, and individual dignity. She is fascinated by the human innate resistance to being reduced to less than what we are by societal, cultural, and economic forces. She tracks the shifting, often contradictory interplay of emotions and boundaries between the public and private self. Sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant, her works add textured meanings to the lexicon of what it is to be human.
