Caitlin G McCollom Opens New Austin Studio
Internationally exhibiting artist Caitlin G McCollom announces the opening of her new studio at Canopy in the East Austin arts district. While her process is traditional — using a paintbrush to apply paint to paper — the end result is anything but. She utilizes high flow acrylic paint and Yupo, a synthetic Japanese paper made of polypropylene, to create incredible depth. “I paint in reds and blues, which represent blood and water. Blood is a symbol for the physical world, and water the spiritual world,” says McCollom. www.cgmccollom.com
