Colleen Guenther

As a multi media maker and am moved by the simple gestures of shapes, line and form. In 2024, my work has focused more on 3D media artwork which is  a visual exploration of the form and how small transformations reveal the complexities of the human experience and is often inspired by the natural world around me. My background as a photographer has greatly informed my artistic pursuits, lending me a discerning eye for capturing these subtleties of expression. Through the use of texture, and form, I seek to express emotions, thoughts, and perspectives that we all share. My pieces invite the viewer to engage with the work on a personal level, while encouraging self-reflection and promoting empathy, understanding, and compassion.

Beyond my multi-media  artworks, I am a commercial freelance photographer. I earned my B.S. at the University of MN in retail merchandising and studied 2 years towards my MFA in photography at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. That education has given me the useful tools to explore my work more deeply while consistently assessing where I am with the work and where I would like to go.

Please enjoy the work.
