Without art ones soul would starve and become void of it's ability to heal itself.

About Me

I am a artist and a photographer...
My artwork and photography are glimpes into myself. My way of capturing the beautiful things in nature and suspending them in time for futher generation to enjoy. I create my sculptures to emulate the things we see and experience in our surroundings. The way the water leaves ripples in the sand when it receeds, the color of the desert sky just before the sun sets, the memories of jazz playing in the French Quarter on a hot summer night...I hope you enjoy my artwork and take time to view my photography.

COLE BLACK STUDIOS: WALL SCULPTURE...
"Santa Fe"- Wall sculpture. 24x48. (sold)
Through years of experimenting with textures and finishes, Cole has perfected the techniques used to create her exotic wall sculptures. She is always expanding her knowledge of different mediums through ongoing study of her trade.
Cole has worked directly with many designers and clients creating the perfect focal point. Her sculptures can be customized to complement any color scheme or decor that the designer and client are looking for. Upon special request, Cole can design a piece to match any dimensional specifications...Great for those odd sized walls. Cole’s work has decorated many Designer Home Shows in the Northwest.
These exotic sculptures are part of an ongoing series based on “Nature in Motion”; A theme that Cole has been captivated with for years. In this series Cole explores many different aspects of nature. She draws inspiration from places and times that stir emotion in her, then creates these pieces of art. The results are glimpses into Cole’s self and awaken emotions within us all. They display nature in a way that can be enjoyed indoors without compromising the naturisic quality we all luxuriate in, while holding onto the healing elements we long for in our surrounding environments. Her creative principles are raw and pure, so as not to lose the meditative and beneficial properties, but her execution exhibits an artistic edge, breathing life into her sculptures.
Cole’s sculptures have depth, movement and uniqueness not found in most art forms. Her work is becoming synonymous with the simple yet sensual lines found in the natural landscape and is currently featured in numerous galleries on the west coast.
