The remarkable
journey of Fanta Celah as a fine artist began at an early age, selling her first commissioned piece at age 15. Shortly thereafter, Fanta became one of the youngest emerging Chicago-based
artists "on the scene". She was featured in Chicago’s Who’s Who 2009 Edition, amongst other articles, and publications.
Fanta’s compositions range from abstract to
portraiture. She especially enjoys painting landscapes and seascapes, that
allow you to enjoy the sunrise from the comforts of your living room. Her brilliant use of color induces the
higher senses and her ultimate goal is to touch people inwardly, to inspire
them, to heal. Fanta works with oil and acrylic, but prefers to utilize biodegradable materials such as mangos and dehydrated citrus peels whenever
possible. Fanta’s art is interwoven with her personal mission to maintain
respect for the earth and its natural resources. To date, Fanta Celah’s work has appeared in
South Side Community Art Center Chicago, 2001& 2011
The Museum of Science & Industry Chicago, 2003
National Black Fine Art Show SOHO, NY 2008
Gallery Guichard Chicago, 2008
Hard Rock Hotel Chicago, 2009
Dorsey's Art Gallery Brooklyn, NY 2010
She also paints live onstage with musical artists, such as Les Nubians in 2010 & 2011 in Chicago.
