Celia Montague is a British artist who lives and works in Oxford and Venice. She was formally trained at Heatherley's School of Drawing and Fine Art as a portrait painter, and then studied for two years at the Prince's Drawing School . She is represented in London and Hungerford by Cricket Fine Art. Her landscapes are painted en plein air, and in bad weather in England she has the aid and shelter of her beloved painting van. One of the pleasures of painting her portraits always with the sitter present is the friendships that these beget.
