Colleen Hennessy’s work is a tapestry woven from a life lived deeply in the American Southwest and enriched by Latin America's vibrant colors and spirit. As a Denver native who followed a meandering path – from the West Coast to New Mexico, and finally to Honduras as a Peace Corps volunteer – Colleen always felt drawn back to the landscapes and cultures that resonate within her soul. Though of Irish heritage, she claims an "alma Latino" – a Latin soul – and that sensibility permeates her artistic expression. For many years, Colleen explored the world through the lens of a camera, capturing the enduring beauty of landscapes and architecture, along with the intimate moments of weddings and portraits. Her time in the mountain jungle of Honduras sparked a parallel journey into painting, where acrylics and watercolors allowed Colleen to translate the vibrant energy of that environment onto paper and canvas.
