© 2005 Celia Washington

Celia Washington is one of the brightest and most original talents to emerge from the Byam Shaw Art School in the last two decades. Her work – oils, mixed media, drawings and prints – conjure up a world at once strange, familiar and utterly compelling.

A nomadic childhood helped her develop a strong inner vision, although it was not until she was 19 that her imagination found an outlet through painting.

Over the last 28 years she has used her experiences as a long-term outsider to create boldly drawn and evocatively-coloured figurative paintings. Her work like that of other Scottish painters reflects a deep fascination with poetic and psychological myth and symbolic legend.

 

 

Celia Washington has already established an international reputation with shows in London, New York and many other countries. She has lived and worked in Florence, Madrid, Tokyo, Paris & Edinburgh, and is now based between London and Kathmandu.
