Welcome, my name is Colleen K Carrigan and I have had the pleasure of offering original art in my eBay Coral2cove gallery since October 2005. It has been such a fun experience - thanks to the many wonderful art patrons. I will offer some of my daughter's work in Coral2Cove on occassion - she has a busy high school schedule but allows time for fine art.
As a naturalist/artist, I have devoted many years to animal behavior studies and nature observations. Paintings that I produce include: realistic representations of flora, fauna, seascapes, landscapes and fantasy renderings. My subjects range across nature. I create works in watercolor and archival inks as well as acrylic and occasionally graphite. I thoroughly enjoy producing miniature art cards - ACEO's.
ACEO's (Art Cards - Editions and Originals) are miniature treasures and are trade card size 2.5'' x 3.5''. They are an affordable way to own original art - collect them, trade them and create them! Find ACEO's on eBay.
My Gallery name: coral2cove was derived from one of my favorite locations on the Coral Sea to a quaint little cove (Pirate's Cove) in a small bay of Puget Sound.
One of my favorite 'on location' studios is Queensland, Australia. I carry a backpack with art supplies, a towel to sit on and then look about for inspiration - which is always quick in coming! I have enjoyed many hours (four journeys since 1996) to the lush tropical region of Northern Queensland. I love creating art from the variety of flora and fauna represented in this unique area of the world. With the Great Barrier Reef just offshore and the beautiful mangroves and rainforests to explore, it truly is paradise.
