Travis Collinson

Travis Collinson (born Sacramento, California) is a visual artist whose paintings take elements from photographs and sketches and reinterpret them at larger scale.[1]

Collinson lives and works in San Francisco, CA. According to critics, his works involve mostly portraiture in an abstract manner and investigate and illustrate complex observations.[2][3]

In 1998, Collinson attended the Otis School of Art and Design. He received his associate degree in 2001 at Victor Valley Community College (A.A.) and his BFA in 2003 at California State University Fullerton.
