"Colleen Attara recycles old windows, Plexiglas trim pieces and leftover paints to create color-filled, three-dimensional art that would add whimsy to any home." Cottages and Bungalows Magazine, August/September 2009

 

 

 

 

"Colleen Attara is a rare artist who enables all of us to see the world as if we were blessed with great creativity. Her three dimensional creations depict a world that is familiar enough, though a bit funkier and vibrant than it usually appears." BUCKS Magazine, May/June 2008

 

 

"Colleen Attara, of Bucks County, went green by instinct and by design.  She describes her finished works as 'imperfectly perfect' because she uses the imperfections in recycled materials as part of her signature style.  Colleen breeds new life into old objects."  PBS 39, WLVT-TV, Tempo, November 7, 2008

 

"I've been meaning to write you for a long time. I LOVE...LOVE my piece I bought from you and so does everyone who comes into my kitchen. I hung it in my kitchen and it made such a positive impact I changed my kitchen a bit too for a new look. Keep creating!!!!" Susan Strassberg

"Thank you, thank you, thank you...........I love 'em!"  Demi Foote

“I just got the piece yesterday and absolutely love it. You did an amazing job…beyond my expectations. Thank you very much.”  Robyn Fruchterman

“We commissioned two of Colleen's pieces, a floral piece and a cityscape. Both pieces were made according to our preferences and we couldn't be happier. Everyone who comes over comments on them and asks where we got them. Colleen's work is bold, bright, unique and earth friendly. We look forward to adding additional pieces to our home in the future. Thanks Colleen!”   Jen and Mike H. (Collector)

"I hope the "business" of art is going well for you; you know we love your art as well as people who see it in our home. We've given your name to many people over the years ." Trish Rowen (Collector)

"We continue to see your name and art all around town -- congratulations!  We constantly receive compliments on your artwork from every new visitor to our home and are always quick to offer your name with our highest accolades!"  Amy and Ken Dysart

"When I first saw a sample of Colleen Attara's work just being hung in a small local gallery, it just had to be mine!  It was the very first to be hung in my newly completed office, Newtown Dentistry For Kids.  I still admire that piece and the others I have acquired since then. They impart a sense of joy...they "reach" you.   Needless to say her whimsical art has drawn comments from frequent admirers and I have been happy to provide information on Colleen and her works of art to all who have requested it. If you need something to enliven your life, look at what she offers!"  Christine M Landes, D.M.D., (Collector)

 

 

 

 

 

"With vibrant splashes of color and whimsy, Attara's art brings to life the narrations of imaginary lives through the panes of her 'Conversation Windows'." Newtown Living magazine, September 2008

 

 

 

 

“I bought one of your beautiful pieces in Lambertville this summer. I just love it!” Janet Jacobs

“Hi, Colleen, just wanted to let you know that the flowers arrived unscathed and have been planted. They are blooming happiness! Your art is something I will enjoy forever.” Ellen Gutman Chenaux, Innkeeper/Proprietor BIRCHWOOD INN

“I have been carrying and successfully selling Colleen Attara's work for over two years and I find it imaginative and creative, full of joy and great artistry.”  Connie Lior , Gallery Owner, CBL FINE ART

“We carry the creations of over 200 of America's most talented artisans.  Colleen Attara is one of those artisans!  We have been featuring Colleen's work in our galleries for many years now.  Her pieces add so much to our stores -- color, life, whimsy... and happiness!  Each piece is better than the last.  It is evident the work and imagination that goes into each creation.”  Melissa Paterson, Gallery owner, Zephyr Gallery

"Attara's work rests somewhere between painting and collage and offers a "still life type" glimpse into windows revealing a joyful view of the imagined lives within.  Her works begin with reclaimed and salvaged old windows that she collects and then embellishes with vibrant colors of views of table settings or flower-filled vases on a sill while leaving the old, original surface of the windows intact. " Bucks County Herald

"Colleen's take on the folk art tradition of painting on windows, intertwined with a more three dimensional sculpture approach, has garnered her much attention. Very few artists successfully combine differing media elements while making it look hip and contemporary. I know and have seen that Colleen achieves this and more. Something every artist should strive to achieve in their own art."
Brian Hanck, owner ARTisZEN ARTS, Lambertville, NJ

"Whimsical flowers with winding stems dance delightfully within brightly colored vases painted on panes of old, forgotten windows." Time Off Bucks County

"The carefree shapes are brought to life in vivid hues of purple, blue, pink, red, yellow and green, like caricatures of roses, daisies and tulips growing wild." Time Off Bucks County,  November 18, 2005
