Using predominantly soft pastels or graphite, the essence of her subjects is captured in a photo-realistic style. Drawn to Nature is a collection of the artist's newest works depicting her deep admiration and empathy for all living creatures. Colette is a signature member of the prestigious Artists for Conservation, a world renowned international organization dedicated to the celebration and preservation of the natural world.
