Artist Feature
Colleen Hoffenbacker is a featured artist in Create! Magazine’s International Print Issue #42, Winter 2024, curated by Danielle Krysa — the writer, artist, and curator behind The Jealous Curator. Krysa’s platform has championed contemporary artists since 2009, and her curatorial voice continues to shape how emerging and established practices are seen. Hoffenbacker’s inclusion reflects her hybrid approach to imaginative realism, where botanical form, symbols, and AI-enhanced processes converge across visual traditions, drawing subtle inspiration from Dutch floral painting and Renaissance design.
