Colete Martin paints vibrant fantasy portraits in acrylic paint. She navigates themes of power and gender by transforming her friends and family into brightly colored nature deities who live in a world parallel to ours. Having grown up in the rural mountains of Oregon, Colete is inspired by her time spent in the woods. Her experiences have transmuted into paintings depicting wild femininity.
The narrative quality of her work was formed during her time studying illustration at the Kansas City Art Institute and the School of Visual Arts. Colete is deeply influenced by the ambiguity of Rae Klein and the world building of Robin F. Williams.
