The Historic Pencil Factory Building

Last month I moved into my new studio in the Pencil Factory! So grateful for the 10ft walls, beautiful south-facing windows, and much needed space for the new large “Abandoned Series” drawings. Come for a visit during the next Greenpoint Open Studios!

Follow me on Periscope as @ColleenBlackard to watch me draw LIVE in the new studio!

Broadcasting Tuesday evenings from 9:00-10:00 PM EST

Jersey City Art Studio Tour 2015

Even though my studio is in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, I was honored to have my work curated in Tatiana Lopez’s show “Wanderlust” in the Lackawanna Building for the Jersey City Art Studio Tour:

“Wanderlust” is based on the desire to travel, explore, and discover new territories, known and unknown either through the artists dreams, meditation, or physical and emotional experiences. 

There is such a vibrant community of wonderful, positive artists in Jersey City, some whom I’ve shown with since I came to NYC. I was honored to show with and be featured in this NJ.com article along side these magnificent artists!

And to make it even better, my small drawing, “Sky Burst,” SOLD!
