Celine Donegan
The inspiration for my work predominantly comes from the colours and designs in nature. I love to work intuitively and not get too hindered by the constraints of an intellectual, academic approach to making art. My art comes from a personal place and life experiences. I am drawn to making the everyday magical, lyrical, opulent, alive. I hope my work reminds you that the world can be and is a beautiful place and connects you with the heart and soul of life.
