Jennifer Celio is a native of Southern California who actually loves Los Angeles.

Working in primarily graphite pencil on paper and wood panels, she creates drawings depicting the urban environment’s offerings of beauty, which often takes unexpected forms.

Her drawings have been exhibited in solo exhibitions at Cristinerose Gallery in New York, the Creative Artists’ Agency in Los Angeles, room gallery in Atlanta and Bandini Art in Culver City, CA. Her work has been included in exhibits throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, CA, Atlanta and Houston. Her work was published in New American Paintings (2003) and Studio Visit (2009) magazines, and was Shortlisted in the 2008 London International Creative Competition, which also published a book.
