Collin Cole, born in Johannesburg on 25 May 1960, graduated from the Natal Technikon with a National Diploma in Fine Art and later obtained a Masters (cum laude) in Fine Art from Rhodes University. Collin began his solo career in 2000 and in addition to holding four solo exhibitions, has participated in 140 local and international group exhibitions and competitions to date.

In 2003, Collin established a private teaching facility, the BLUE DOOR PRINT STUDIO, to teach artists and anyone with a serious desire but outside of the often-restricted formal educational institutions, the opportunity to learn professional printmaking. After obtaining his Masters degree in Printmaking, Collin was a university lecturer for 14 years and taught at the Rhodes University School of Fine Art (1984 – 1986), the University of Bophuthatswana (1986 – 1994) and at the University of North West (1994 – 1999). Here, he primarily taught various printmaking techniques including Serigraphy, Intaglio, Relief printing, Off- Set Lithography as well as all associated photomechanical processes, from first year to masters’ level. He also taught History of Art, visual communication and techniques so that the student has the opportunity to create images that result in traditional limited edition prints.
