CELIA MONTAGUE

Eden

In this exhibition Celia Montague celebrates her feelings for places that she holds close. Gentle havens in the Cotswolds near her home, workaday Venice, the lavish warmth of SW France – these have given her joy and she has tried to express it here.

Her interest in personality and the human form makes a discreet appearance with the inclusion of one or two figures, (as well as a small number of commissioned portraits which are not in the catalogue and not for sale).

M.A. in Modern and Mediaeval Languages, Oxford University (St. Hugh’s College).2007 – 2009 Diploma in Portraiture, Heatherley School of Fine Art.
