MY STORY

 

Hi there!

​

I’m Celeste, an artist and art teacher who grew up in the heart of South Africa. I studied Fine Arts through UFS, UNISA, and completed my Master’s in Art at the Durban University of Technology.

For over 25 years, I’ve had the joy of teaching art to learners of all ages — from little ones just discovering colour and creativity, to adults finding their own artistic voice.

​

When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me working on commissions or exhibiting my own work wherever inspiration and opportunity meet.

​

Together with my husband, I run Celestial Art Studio in Uvongo, where I teach art in a warm, creative space — both in-person and online. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already on your artistic journey, you’re welcome here!
