Celeste the Chicken tours the world.
Celeste the chicken tours the world through the
creative eyes of American artist Mary Downing. Celeste began her life
on a historical farm in Austin, Texas.
She was moved to her new digs near San Antonio
where she lived out her life as an artist model.
American Artist Mary Downing visualized Celeste in
her work first as pottery and then later in a series of paintings titled
Urban Chicks. The whimsy of the work is evident in each piece. Many
said the pottery was folk style, while the paintings take on a more
sophisticated look. The bright colors and designs bring a smile to the
face.
American Artist Mary Downing has focused her work
on the anthropomorphic lives of her animals including cats and dogs she
has known and love. It is possible to commission a work by Ms. Downing
including family portraits of people and pets.
The work is acrylic on canvas.
