Colleen Browning attended the Slade School of Art in London 1946 - 1948. She immigrated to the United States in 1949 when she married English novelist Geoffrey Wagner and settled in New York in 1950, at which time she became a US citizen. She participated in annual exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art 1951-1963 and at the National Academy of Design 1957-1978. She taught painting and drawing at City College of New York 1960 - 1976 and subsequently taught at the National Academy of Design. Browning illustrated Wagner's "The Red Crab," published in London in 1989.
Browning often uses her own image in her paintings and has also been intrigued by the motif of the umbrella which masks but also reveals a figure or face. She was inspired to create a series of paintings using umbrellas when she noticed a pedestrian on 57th Street in New York peering out from the crowd.
