"The world is my photography studio"

"Building 229, Mare Island, Vallejo, CA"

"Urbanscapes" - Celeste's art will be exhibited as part of the featured photo exhibition at the San Francisco Bay Flyway Festival, February 11-13, 2011.

Celeste is a professional photographer specializing in portraits on location. Portraits made in outdoor or indoor locations that have meaning for the people in them are far more interesting than typical studio portraits. Her portraits make people feel good about themselves and how they are presented. In addition to creating portraits, Celeste enjoys many other types of photography including landscape, night, infrared, event, documentary, panoramic and nature photography. She has long been intrigued by the old buildings on Mare Island. Shes currently working on a series of photographs of the buildings, some of which may be seen in a special display of her work in the Featured Artist area during the Flyway Festival.

Although always interested in photography, she began take herself seriously as an artist when she started taking classes 10 years ago. Celeste is extremely grateful to the excellent staff of the photography departments of Napa Valley College and Solano College for sharing their expertise and also to her former fellow students who made learning so much fun. For 29 years, Celeste worked in business full-time. Thankfully, the recent economic downturn gave her a much needed shove out of the business world and allowed her to follow her passion for photography full time. Celeste has lived in Vallejo for 10 years. Occasionally shes a volunteer photographer for non-profit organizations such as the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve and the Mare Island Daffodil Tea. Besides photography, she enjoys hiking with her husband, Bob, and dog, Chopper, at the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve. She currently serves as Vice-President of Education for the Capitol Speakers Toastmasters club in Benicia.
