Artist Célia inspired by a passion for found things

ARTIST Célia Richard is originally from the Champagne region of north-east France, and has been living in Shercock, Co. Cavan, for the past 22 years.
Célia is currently showing her work as part of Solas Art Gallery's exhibition, 'Palimpsest', marking the first physical exhibition to be hosted at the Ballinamore gallery this year.
Here she speaks to The Impartial Reporter about her artistic background, what inspires her work and what art means to her.
What is your artistic background? Are you self-taught or did you go to art school/do courses?
ALTHOUGH I didn’t go to art college, I attended many courses, summer schools – art therapy – and workshops over the past 30 years, the last of which was a postgraduate diploma in Arts in Healthcare Settings with Maynooth University.
