Colley began creating detailed renderings and assemblage with found objects in childhood, and never stopped. Colley’s “Introduction to Painting” professor was a great inspiration, granting him an independent study in painting for the length of his life at college. Various class projects led to new ways of seeing, and creating. Colley has exhibited his work in various galleries over the years and was recently selected to be a fellow at the prestigious Dora Maar Residency

Program in Menerbes, France. His works are in private collections throughout the U.S., Europe, the Caribbean and beyond. It is rare and exciting to find this caliber of self-study created largely outside the art-world system.
