Her approach to teaching isn&rsquo;t just about mastering techniques&mdash;it&rsquo;s about fostering a deep appreciation for the rich, vibrant tapestry of art throughout history. Colette&rsquo;s own artwork is a celebration of life&rsquo;s subtle moments, exploring the interplay of background and foreground with a playful mix of gouache, acrylic, charcoal, pencil, and pen. Whether she&rsquo;s sketching a portrait, capturing the personality of a beloved pet, or experimenting with texture and color, her art radiates joy and meaning. Colette believes art has the power to transform people and perspectives. Through her teaching and creative work, she&rsquo;s on a mission to inspire others to embrace art, discover its magic, and see beauty in the everyday.<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><a fr-original-style="" href="https://colettebachand.art/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Learn more about Colette Bachand</a></li></ul> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1774414567/wysiwyg/wkvqmnrx5o4orbb0bvag.png" style="width: 385px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left; position: relative; max-width: 100%; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 385px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"> ABOUT DOLLY&#39;S COCKTAILS Dolly&#39;s is an ultra-pink, mid-century inspired cocktail bar and restaurant, a fun, playful and inclusive space to celebrate, connect and catch up.
