Starry Eyed A.P. - 1989

Starry Eyed presents a poised female figure reclining across a sweeping golden arc, suspended against a stylized cityscape that evokes both cinematic glamour and quiet introspection. Soft, luminous skin tones contrast with warm coral and amber passages, while accents of crimson and black define structure and rhythm. The composition balances elegance and attitude, merging fashion-inflected portraiture with graphic architectural elements to create a sense of timeless allure and poised self-possession.

Produced in 1989 as a limited-edition oil silkscreen serigraph on archival paper, Starry Eyed has long been regarded as a classic example of Colleen Ross’s early figurative style, capturing the refined draftsmanship and bold color sensibility that defined her formative period. Notably, actress Teri Hatcher was among the first collectors to acquire this piece, adding a meaningful chapter to its provenance. This example remains in mint condition and offers a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic artifact from the artist’s early career.

Artist’s Proofs (A.P.s) are small, reserved impressions held directly by the artist. Due to their rarity and direct provenance from the studio, they are widely considered the most desirable acquisitions in a limited edition run.
