Colleen Corradi Brannigan

Founder of Dedalo

Colleen is an Italian artist with a Fine Art background whose work has been featured in several books and magazines, thanks to her distinctive style of creating distorted imaginary buildings floating in mid-air.
Her international reputation has developed over a twenty-year multimedia exploration of "The Invisible Cities", which became her biggest project to-date.

As an art teacher, she is especially good at guiding people to develop their own process, removing creative blocks, and helping new printmakers to achieve brilliant results and learn this new skill.
