June Art Display at the Washington Twp. Public Library, Long Valley, NJ



June Art Display at the Washington Twp. Public Library, Long Valley, NJ


On display at the Washington Twp. Public Library, 37 E. Springtown Rd, Long Valley, NJ, are works of large-scale flowers by Celeste Fondaco. Celeste has loved to draw since she was old enough to hold a pencil. Celeste has been drawing and painting for her entire life. It is only in the last 10 years that she has been displaying her work. Most of her recent work is of large-scale flowers, often painted from photos taken in her own garden or local public gardens. Her medium of choice is oil and acrylic for the flowers, but she also enjoys working in acrylic pastel and watercolor on occasion...

Since retiring 12 years ago, she has become more active in the art world. She is currently the President of the Drew Art Association. She received her Associates in Fine Arts from the County College of Morris and is currently finishing up her Fine Arts degree at Farleigh Dickinson University.

She has been showing her work throughout New York and New Jersey in both juried and non juried shows. She has had numerous solo shows and her work is in many private collections.

Celeste was born and raised in Green Village and currently lives in Chatham Township with her husband, Peter and a menagerie of furry and feathered creatures.
