Celia Martine Pickering

Unashamedly colourful. Mainly works on rag cotton paper, using emulsion Matt paint.

Celia is an artist, independent art teacher, and mother of teenage twins based in West London. 

‘My love for art has been with me for as long as I can remember, but it was in 2020 when I began my professional artistic journey.

Unlike many of my contemporaries, I'm primarily self-taught and have developed my own approach to art that is both original and personal. My paintings are inspired by Mid Century style and the natural world, with each piece reflecting my deep appreciation for beauty and my unique perspective on life. Through my artwork, I aim to transport viewers to a world of vibrant colors and imaginative shapes, inviting them to lose themselves in the moment and let their imaginations run wild.

In addition to creating art, I'm also a dedicated art teacher who believes in nurturing creativity and helping others find their own artistic voice. My teaching philosophy is centered around the belief that everyone has the potential to be an artist, and my goal is to provide my students with the guidance and support they need to unlock their creativity and achieve their artistic goals’.

Celia is honored to receive recognition during, Battersea Arts Fair 2021, representing Arts4Dementia, selling works to raise money for dementia.
