Colleen Gorman's Fine Arts Gallery

    Colleen comes from a family reknown worldwide for their artistic abilities and accomplishments.  Carl Gorman and RC Gorman are just two examples of accomplished artists in her family.  In particular, her lifelong teacher and mentor, Harrison Begay, also a reknown artist worldwide, has been painting since the early twentieth century.  Colleen herself, has been drawing and painting since she was four, when Harrison first started teaching her.  

"As an artist, I feel the need to create something everyday. If this need is not satisfied, then depression sinks in.  As an artist, I use the process of creation to help me deal with & counteract depression.  In a way, it's my conversation with the Creator because I see the act of Creating as an act of Prayer.  Since the Creator sees & knows all, brutal honesty is often part of this process' so if I am less than truthful with myself, the only person I am lying to is myself.  Thus it is the process of creating that is more important to me, rather than the end product. Thus, I believe this need to Create, regardless of media, defines an artist."
