Céleste Charland lives in Ottawa (Ontario, Canada). She is inspired by everyday life. She uses oil and acrylic to create landscapes and still life and abstract

‘I love everything about the creative process and am always in awe of the beauty in ordinary things.  I describe my work as ‘betwixt and between’: it is neither realistic nor purely abstract. I love experimenting with colour, adding a subtle surreal quality to the world around me.  Painting is the closest I ever get to expressing my gratitude for my life and the world around me.”
