Artist Statement:
I have always been passionate
about creativity and I’ve
always enjoyed the creative
aspects of every area of life.
Although I’m a bit of a
planning and organizing
fanatic, when I am creating
art I have no agenda and no
“to do” list. During these
times, which I refer to as my
“Creative Sessions”, I embrace
the spontaneity of following
my inner spirit and allowing
her to guide me. Music
stimulates me and is a major
part of my “Creative
Sessions”. As I am also a
Mobile DJ, I have a large and
diverse music collection to
select from. I dare not stand
or sit before my easel until I
set a vibe - and music waves
are in the air. There’s
something about the rhythms,
motion and colour of music
that enhances my flow when I’m
painting. No matter the
subject of my art, I focus on
using colour, texture and
composition to create thought
provoking artwork that
stimulates the human senses
and emotions. I have an
affinity for creating Abstract
Art because it promotes
freedom of form and
expression. My paintings
challenge you to decide what
they are, who they are and how
they speak ...

| Your Personal Biography |
Darlene F. Rollins artistically known as Darlene F. is one of Brooklyn’s newest inspirations in the world of Visual Arts.
Darlene was born in Providence, Rhode Island and is a graduate of the Hope High School Arts Magnet program. The arts program was created to cultivate a student’s natural artistic talents through the exploration of numerous art genres and mediums.
While in this program, Darlene developed a special interest in lettering, portraiture and still life work however her greatest joy was expressing her creative energy using various techniques.
Post high school, Darlene earned a B.A. in Computer Information Systems from Howard University which led to a 10- year creative arts hiatus.
Darlene rekindled her artistic talents when she began creating abstract paintings using acrylic paint on canvas. Her freshman collection portrays her expression of freedom of form using vibrant swirls, splashes and spatters of color dancing rhythmically across the canvas.
Works from this collection (which she calls her “Swirl, Splash and all that Jazz” collection) were exhibited at The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition’s 2007 summer and fall exhibits. It was at the summer exhibit that the painting “Flame” was sold, marking Darlene’s first art sale. Darlene has since created additional collections and she has sold work from those collections as well.
