Celeste obtained a BA(Ed) Fine Arts degree in 1989 and a BA Honours (Art History) in 1990, both from the University of Pretoria. She proceeded to head several art departments at schools in Pretoria. In 2003 she moved to Mbombela and ran an art studio and gallery from her home. Her role in education is inseparable from her personal art practice and she continues to teach and present workshops. She is currently also head of Visual Arts at Curro College Nelspruit, Mbombela.
Celeste’s passion for ancient mythological tales and fables rooted in nature manifests itself repeatedly as the spiritual element in her work.
