Testimonials

My first real encounter with Celina’s incredible paintings was in November 2018, when I attended a solo exhibition of her work in Oakville. I was transfixed by the fist painting I saw,
Second Summer 2018. I could not take my eyes off this beautiful seascape and it’s vibrant colours, incredible textures and magical qualities. I knew that it had found its new home.

I have continued to follow her work and knew that I wanted to add another of her works to my collection. I settled on Swept Away, the perfect marriage of sea, sky and light. It does in fact carry the viewer away to tranquil places, and although it was just delivered in the last few days, I can tell you it has already filled my home with more beauty and peacefulness than you can imagine.

Working with Celina to curate a piece for our home was nothing short of an absolute pleasure. From consultation to delivery... we could not have asked for more from this artist. Our request was for an unusually large composition and it’s addition to our home was exactly what had been missing in our space for years.

We were drawn to Celina’s detailed technique, her use of medium and her appreciation for colour and texture, but what is remarkable is how others, who have seen the piece now in our home, have remarked in the same fashion. Her work is so very complex... there is so much to be absorbed. Thank you Celina. Your piece has made an for amazing contribution to our home.

Beyond the Rocks. Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas, 36" x 84"

We own a small cottage with a small slice of Georgian Bay beachfront. This is where some of our most special family memories have been made.

When we were introduced to Celina’s work, we were so taken by her ability to capture the unique landscape of the Bay’s rocks, water and trees. We hoped she could create a special piece just for us.

Celina met with us to discuss colour, composition and our vision. She left with pictures and notes and also contacted us throughout the process with questions. The result is a spectacular painting of our beachfront view. It resides in our dining room in the city and is the perfect backdrop for special occasions at home.
Celina’s work is beautiful - textured, colourful and bright.

We are so happy that we made the decision to commission this piece and will undoubtedly own another of her paintings soon!

Thank you for your painting and the idea that we make it as our secret project. It was a Christmas gift for my husband and he was pleasantly surprised. He immediately recognized the Mt. Akagi landscape you painted and thinks it's beautiful.

Kakumanbuchi, 2018. Watercolour on birch wood, 12" x 12"

I own two of Celina’s pieces, both landscapes of the Georgian Bay Area, and I love them both! Using her brilliant techniques of texturing and her inspired observance of colours and shadows, Celina captures not only the physical qualities and colours of the scene, but also the temperature, the wind and even the mood of the day. I spend some time admiring Celina’s pieces every time I pass them! She is truly a gifted artist.
