Boulder artist and author Tina Collen is hoping for some fast-moving sales of her book “Storm of the i: An Artobiography” with a release party on Friday, Feb. 12 at the downtown Boulder showroom of the Tesla electric sports car.

Collen says she’ll talk about her memoir as an artist trying to understand her turbulent relationship with her father, and the astonishing event that occurred after she finished the book.

Collen’s writing is interwoven with her memorabilia, her art and her work as a graphic designer.

The event runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and guests will be able to look over the all-electric Tesla Roadster, with a range of about 244 miles per charge. The Tesla Gallery is located at 915 Pearl St.
