    About Shannon Celia

    Shannon Celia creates contemporary coastal vignettes in oil with an emphasis on texture, light and color. Using palette knives along with brushes enables her to create more texture and movement. Shannon spends time at local harbors painting the commercial fishing vessels she falls in love with every time she sees them as well as in coastal industrial places finding beauty in more utilitarian structures when the “light hits them just right”. She prefers painting in the early morning so her pieces radiate that time of day and whatever particular mood she aims to capture. She started painting en plein air after a recent trip to Italy and it’s affected how she sees color and shape and her end result. Her approach continually evolves, but she is most inspired by seascapes. Shannon expresses her feelings in terms of color and strives to convey this in her work.
