Lenore Collins is an American graphic designer, painter and photographer living in Ireland for the last 26 years. She graduated from RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) in the US in 1985 with a bachelors degree in Graphic Design. Colour and its various relationships are her main focus and she started out as a realist painter but now concentrates on abstract painting. It gives her a certain satisfaction in that it melds her graphic design and painter sensibilities while challenging her in every piece.
