Billie J Colson - Whimsy, Character, and a Very Good Sense of Humor
Meet the Mind Behind the Mischief
Billie J. Colson creates artwork that doesn’t take itself too seriously — and invites viewers to do the same. Known for her expressive animal portraits and keen sense of humor, her work captures moments of personality, curiosity, and mild mischief that feel instantly relatable.
Animals are her favorite subjects, not as symbols or studies, but as characters. Billie’s pieces often feel like visual punchlines — the kind that make you smile first, then linger a little longer.
Billie brings warmth, texture, and immediacy to her drawings. She has studied with accomplished portrait artists and continues to refine her craft, but her true signature is her ability to notice the humor hiding in plain sight.
Originally from Texas and now based in Colorado, Billie has shown her work nationally and has long been an active supporter of the arts community, including founding the Loveland Art Studio Tour.
Her work reminds us that art can be technically skilled, emotionally engaging, and genuinely funny — all at the same time.
