About Colette
Colette Martin, known artistically as Colette Martin of Colesian ART, is a Louisiana-born artist celebrated for her expressive, layered abstract paintings that blend vibrant color, rich texture, and spiritual depth. A self-described “fun-loving, loud, passionate Louisiana girl,” she balances her creative pursuits with her roles as wife, mother of two, and devout Christian.
Her work explores the transformative power of nature and the human spirit. Through organic forms, bold layering, and intuitive brushwork, Colette creates paintings that are both visually striking and emotionally resonant. Each piece invites reflection and connection, offering viewers a sense of peace and presence.
Rooted in Louisiana’s artistic culture, Colette draws inspiration from her surroundings, faith, and family. Painting is more than a craft—it’s a form of worship and storytelling for her, allowing each canvas to speak with honesty and hope.
Under the name Colesian ART, her portfolio includes abstract florals, metallic-infused works, and large-scale compositions that play with light and dimension. Her art has been showcased in exhibitions and shared through features like the M C Bank Artist Spotlight and video series such as “Canvas Miracles.”
M C Bank is proud to feature Colette Martin in our Artist Spotlight Series. Her vibrant spirit and soulful artwork align with our mission to celebrate creativity, community, and the power of authentic expression.
