November Gallery Artist- MALLORY COLBY
Sparrow Collective
Mallory originally intended to be a high-school English teacher, but during her sophomore year of college she picked up an introductory painting class and had changed her major after three weeks into it. Her focus was split between painting and photography, but she decided to concentrate on painting after teaching elementary school art for a year and a half.
Painting fell to the wayside a bit while trying out a few different jobs, but returned as the main focus while pregnant with her daughter. Since then, She has worked primarily on commissions for friends and family, from animals for a nursery to a simple study of light to completely abstract studies of colors. She draws her inspiration from anything… new media, her husband’s love of biking, or colors her daughter likes.
Mallory plans on continuing to paint on wood panels, like many of the pieces in this show, but claims “I can’t even begin to know where painting will take me.”
Her art will be displayed from November 16- December 14. Come by Sparrow Collective to check it out.
