Colleen is an artist and curator from the Midwest. After studying studio art and art history, she moved to San Francisco where she acquired a library card and art studio before a job. As the artistic director at the San Francisco Center for the Book, Colleen planned letterpress and bookbinding courses, curated exhibitions, and cultivated the capable volunteers. In order to focus more on curating exhibitions, Colleen began working at the Contemporary Jewish Museum (CJM). Currently she works as a curatorial associate at the CJM and serves on the Imprint committee (publication arm) of the San Francisco Center for the Book. Moving forward, Colleen intends to create accessible avenues for new audiences to approach contemporary art while elevating the integrity of new work. She lives in San Francisco where she also grows vegetables, walks sensibly, and draws fastidiously.
