Colin Parker
Best known for his figurative depictions of outback Australia in oils, Colin recently spent a month as “Artist-in-Residence” at Ayres Rock Resort in the Central Desert and has been “Artist-in-Residence” at Kakadu many times. As well as his love of painting outback Australia, Colin has painted in Paris, Southern France, Rome and Northern Italy, his most successful series being Paris in the Snow - a world away from the heat, the remoteness and vast aerial distance of the Australian inland.
Colin is a respected Art Judge and recently completed four years as President of the Royal Art Society of New South Wales.
He has had three portraits hung in the Archibald Prize, at the Art Gallery of NSW, a landscape in the Wynne Proze and has won First Prize in Sydney’s prestegious Royal Easter Show Art competitions three times.
His works are included in many corporate collections both in Australia and overseas, in State Government Collections and in Commonwealth Government Collections.
