They say when you look into someone’s eyes, you can see a lifetime. 

Behind every eye, every smile, every tear… there is a story.

What is your story? Is it one of heartache, of joy or sadness… are the memories bittersweet? Do you dare tell?

Photography as an art form provides a powerful medium through which a photographer can tell a story. While the subject within the frame may be the focal point, a skilled photographer will use elements like light, shadow and texture to bring the story to life.

Scientists tell us our bodies can store memories in our cells, called cellular memories. The human form can reflect these memories in the way we move or remain still.

My name is Celia. I am a South African Fine Artist.

I work mainly as a watercolour artist; I am however available for coloured pencil pet portrait commissions too. I specialise in Portrait paintings e.g. People Portrait Paintings, Family Portrait Paintings, and Pet Portrait Paintings but have completed an array of other subjects e.g. house portraits, faceless watercolour portraits, landscapes, floral paintings and much more.
Do not hesitate to get in touch if you require more details about my work or a bespoke quotation to create a timeless piece of art that you will cherish forever. I have been working with clients from all over the globe, so even if you are not based in South Africa, please feel free to reach out.
