Colin Chen is not only a skilled hairstylist but also a gifted painter. His captivating art showcases a vibrant contemporary Chinese folk style, drawing inspiration from his hometown's landscapes and his experiences in Nova Scotia. Despite facing financial challenges during his childhood, Colin's determination led him to become an accomplished self-taught artist. He uses his talent to give back to the community, raising over $30,500 through a successful art auction fundraiser for heartfelt causes. In November 2021, Colin auctioned 52 original paintings to support the QEII's orthopedic surgical robot, as well as the QEII Thyroid Cancer Fund and the Chester Art Centre.
