Celia now works in her studio in South London: cats, interiors and landscapes being her main subjects. Widely known as a cat painter her cat paintings were used in “Bridget Jones Diary” films 1 and 2. She has worked closely with Cats Protection, being a judge on their panel for the photographic competition for several years and is a Patron of the Animal Protection Trust.

She has contributed artwork to “Essential Cattitude” published by Feline Advisory Bureau and is currently working on her own children’s picture book, a project which arose following her involvement with groups of primary school children during schools’ Art Weeks.
