About Celeste Hansen

Celeste's Artistic Ideology

Illustration provides a unique opportunity to explore the impossible and design the inconceivable. Through consideration of light, texture, shape, and form, anything imaginable can be brought to life.

Xe’s not your average artist.

Celeste Hansen was born in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia, to American parents circumnavigating the globe on their J-36. They finished their sailing adventure when xe was five, settling down in Seattle, where Celeste grew up and went to school. Using the running start program xe attended to Shoreline Community College and obtained xyr Associates of Fine Arts (AFA). Taking two years off, xe returned to xyr sailing roots, delivering a yacht from Portland, Maine to Seattle, WA, in 11 months.

After that adventure xe returned to school and matriculated at the University of Washington, graduating with a Bachelors of Interdisciplinary Visual Arts. However wanderlust still called to xem, so once again xe set sailing, this time from August 2013 through June 2015, working heavily on xyr art while sailing the Pacific.

Today xe lives and works in Seattle, Washington with xyr menagerie including:

• cats - Valhalla & Valkyrie

• goats - Heiðrún, Yule, & Baphomet

• tortoise - Victoria

• and snakes - Asclepius, Butters, Lasciel, Pinball, & Tuna.
