Colleen Louise Barry

Colleen Louise Barry hopes to make art that reveals things previously not considered as gorgeous, absurd, joyful, touching, accessible, kindly, important. She approaches her process with curiosity and enjoys the challenge of constantly working with and learning new materials, tools, scales, and processes. She most often works in series, creating artist books, comics, poems, sculptures, photographs, and other works that iterate, accumulate, and grow through a dialogue with each other.  

Colleen is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and teacher based in Seattle. Her visual work has been exhibited at the Seattle Art Museum, the Museum of Museums, The Factory, Seattle Art Book Fair, and other places; her first book of poems, Colleen, is out from After Hours Editions. She ran the interdisciplinary publishing and gallery projects Mount Analogue, Gramma, and Angel Tears. She holds an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst Program for Poets and Writers where she studied with James Tate and Dara Wier. She lives in Seattle, WA with her husband and son.
