About Me
Tina Colbourne
My earliest memory of painting was at 8 years old living in Newfoundland, Canada. I took my paint set down to the shoreline and painted a seal on a big rock on the beach.
My greatest love is animals and nature. Growing up I aspired to be a veterinarian but decided to start a family instead. I didn't pick up a paintbrush for 18 years until I had to stop working due to breast cancer. After my fight with cancer I became a stay at home mom. My father gave me some art supplies for my birthday and I started painting again. I decided to paint what I was most passionate about and that was nature and wildlife.
My greatest idol growing up was Robert Bateman. I aspire to create the same drama and emotion that he brings into his paintings. I would love to also create awareness with my paintings like he has throughout his lifetime.
