The Old Pier by NY artist, Celeste Plowden
16x16 acrylic on canvas, for my upcoming show beginning June 3, 2016
Flamboyant Method: Landscapes and Abstracts by Celeste Plowden
at The Enchanted Florist, Albany, NY
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

Balboa Island Resident, Boat Pulled Up On The Sand Oil by Janet Bludau
12" x 16" Oil on Canvas
Balboa Island in California has many such rowboats and sailboats and paddle boards pulled up on the sand just waiting for their next trip out.

I can't remember a time that I didn't have an artistic pursuit but I found my true love with painting. Although I enjoy exploring with different techniques and materials, I primarily work in oils with an abstract style. Thick paint placed with a palette knife and strong geometric shapes are often found in my paintings.
After earning a degree in Business Admin/Marketing, I went on to several "Big Girl" corporate jobs and then owned and ran a design business in Hawaii, importing antiques from the mainland. My education was rounded out through the UC Berkeley Extension Art Program and the College of Marin Art and Design Program. I am fortunate to have had wonderful instructors as well as the insightful critiques of my fun, fellow painters.

Repair At The Pier, Portmagee, Ireland
6"x6" oil on gessoed masonite archival artboard
"May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it."
~Irish Blessing
This painting is worked in both brush and knife. The pier there in Portmagee is such a busy place, always a hub of action. It's exciting with all the colorful boats coming and going, and the various work being done.
