Biography – Wyatt Collins

Wyatt is a 20-year-old aspiring artist who has shown his creative talents since an early age. Wyatt is Nlaka’pamux from the Nicola Valley. His parents are Rona Sterling-Collins and Don Collins. Despite having autism, Wyatt has a positive and cheerful outlook on life.

He graduated from MSS in 2016 and enjoyed his time there immensely. He took art courses in high school and show cased some of his art work in School.

Wyatt enjoys art, music, swimming, bowling and being outdoors.

Recently, Wyatt has discovered his unique style in Abstract Expressionism. He has excelled using fluid form and drip painting techniques in an environment with no limits to size or content. Wyatt paints with a clear focus that allows him to show emotion through his uninhibited brushwork. This show displays some of his works from the past year exploring large scale media, use of vibrant color and adventurous application methods.

Wyatt’s unique perspective to the world is a breath of fresh air.
