About the Artist

Asha C. McCollum and The Color Queen, LLC

Abstract Artist and Poet

 

Inspired by a love for art and an appreciation of color, Asha C. McCollum has discovered unlimited ways painting fuels creativity, promotes health and wellness and helps her adapt to the world in which she lives.  

​

Asha lives with a chronic illness that sometimes impacts her ability to move and to create.  During those times, it is not easy for her to express herself.  When faced with difficulty, Asha has discovered she can let her paintbrush do the talking.

​

“I know firsthand that the most difficult or bad experiences in life can eventually bring hope.  I am able to experience the joy of creating when I work with colors.  Part of my creative process includes actively listening for ways to think outside the box, to see color in motion, and to discover forms of self-expression that transform the negative into realms of new possibilities. I am both relieved and ecstatic when I finish a new piece.  Somehow, the expressive process brings meaning and beauty that can be shared with others.” Asha McCollum

 

Colors and the emotions they evoke are central to Asha’s transformative work.  It is her hope that others experience the fun, therapeutic and limitless wonder of abstract art.
