Colin S. McNair (b. 1986) is an American artist living and working in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His art reflects interests in the natural environment and conservation, with an emphasis on birds, marine animals, and utility. An avid outdoorsman, he prefers to study his subjects in situ.  

Colin was fully immersed in wood working and art from his beginnings, for his father Mark S. McNair and older brother, Ian T. McNair are both artists specializing in decoys and folk art. After completing his first carvings around the age of 6, McNair continued the craft through grade school and college. Beginning his formal art education at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, he went on to receive a degree in biology and studio art from the College of Charleston. 

While some of his pieces are chiefly decorative, many are thoroughly designed to do work and their practical application is encouraged. It is in these objects' design to achieve a higher level of character while interacting with a user and improving their experience.
