‘The Bold Lines Of Woman’

“The Bold Lines Of Woman”

Gee Gee Collins was born in Atlanta, Georgia. She studied painting under Michael Phillips at the College of Charleston and received a bachelor's degree in Fine Art from the University of Georgia. She also traveled and studied at Lamar Dodd School of Art in Cortona, Italy. From the start of her career, she has been captivated by bright colors and the essence of minimalism. Her bold brush strokes and colorful palette combine to create layers of paint that give each piece a history and an ethereal quality. She approaches the canvas with ease and spontaneity, resulting in paintings filled with energy and movement.

Today Gee Gee creates in her studio and a lot of her style is influenced by a free spirit and we can feel this freedom in the movement and use of her colors, a strong sense of lust and beauty, while effortlessly depicting her subjects with the use of shape and color. Her mother is a Fine artist, and for her growing up, she was constantly surrounded by art and fashion, as her mother also owned a chain of woman’s clothing stores. Gee Gee was constantly exposed to new trends and exciting colors in textile and design; where a lot of this exposure has transcended into her body of work today. As a mother, she is nurturing this lineage of art to her kids, allowing them to grow freely into their own.
