Celeste Biggar
Is an Illustrator based in Eastern Ontario
Celeste began expressing her creativity at a young age by messing around with dollar store paints, making sunsets, cat pictures and whatever else would pop into her 10 year old head. This quickly evolved into a deep love for visual story telling, fuelled by her avid reading of fantasy novels as well as the beautiful nature that surrounded her growing up in rural Ontario.
Throughout the years she developed her craft, taking all the art classes that she could during elementary and high school. In 2010 she graduated the Algonquin College Fine Arts program and then the Graphic Design program in 2013. She has been exploring many different creative outlets in the meantime, learning how to paint on the computer using a tablet, improving her traditional painting skills and even picking up embroidery at one point.
Living in the beautiful hills surrounding Lanark and still loving a good story, she draws her inspiration from all around and within. To the wonderful animals that are everything to her, to fantastical stories that lay deep in her imagination, nothing is too bizarre or too simple for her art.
