Waynesville, NC
Colleen J. Galeazzi was born in Palm Beach, Florida into an Italian family with four siblings. Growing up, Colleen was fascinated by metaphysical and three-dimensional boundaries. She became interested in her father’s contracting blueprints and, years later, she became passionate about how life and death interacted. Following the passing of three of her siblings, Colleen immersed herself in art, creating sculpture from discarded musical instruments and becoming reborn in her medium. Over the years, Colleen has collected many broken but beautiful instruments.The many pieces that fell into her hands, cellos, violins, pianos, were given a second chance through sculpture; their musical spirits given a new note to play in this world. She considers them her orphans; adopting them, giving them a home and new life. Currently she is working on a black cello swan dedicated to Ginny at Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. Her motto is to "Recycle, Recreate, and Make the Music Go Round."
