Colleen Maria Casey is a multi-disciplinary artist, educator, and curator with over three decades of experience in the arts. She earned a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in photography, with minors in fiber arts and art history, and an MA in art education from Georgia State University. Her early work, which included the nationally exhibited “Family” series, established her as a prominent figure in the Atlanta photography scene in the 1990s, where she was a Fulton County Arts Council Individual Artist Grant Recipient and a studio artist at the Nexus Contemporary Art Center.
As an educator, Colleen has shared her passion for art across diverse platforms, from teaching at The Lovett School and Joseph Wheeler High School to leading workshops at the John C. Campbell Folk School and Earthskills Rendezvous.
Colleen’s artistic journey has expanded from photography to a deep-seated practice in fiber arts, including weaving, surface design, and natural dyeing. She is also the founder of Some Art Fabric, LLC, a company born from her passion for textiles. This blend of teaching, making, and community-building demonstrates her enduring commitment to the arts.
