Artist
Connee’s art work is based around humanity – events, lifestyles, values – everything to do with life.
Techniques
Connee is experienced in bronze casting and most other techniques in sculpture; she also draws, paints and just loves photography because of the fast outcome – now we have digital – in relation to the time taken to create with other mediums – it is fast.
Writing is a different medium and research is time consuming but it relates to Connee’s arts practice as the two intermix. research and photography can be an end in themselves or can lead to further exploration and interpretation in painting, drawing, or sculpture.

Writing – Weekly Column
Connee-Colleen started as a free-lance-writer; writing for the Queanbeyan Age, newspaper, in 1985. Connee has also written two small booklets that document two series of her art-work: (i) A Time and a Place and (ii) Different Ways of Seeing; featuring sculpture, photographs and drawing complimented by diary entries of the time spent with the elderly and the disabled.
During the past five years Connee has had her own column in the Queanbeyan Age newspaper.
The column was first called “Queanbeyan Outlook with Connee-Colleen“ and under this title numbers one to 46 were published in the Queanbeyan Age on Tuesdays, from February 8, 2005 to June 27, 2006 (holidays excepted); at that time the Queanbeyan Age was published twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The title of the column was changed to “Connee-Colleen Queanbeyan Outlook“ when the Queanbeyan Age became a weekly paper and under this title numbers 47 to 234 were published on Fridays, from July 7, 2006 to June 4, 2010 (holidays excepted); and are expected to continue; any change will be notified on this site.
