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.
