I began my career as a creative artist in the fine arts with an emphasis on figure painting and portraiture. I create my patterns and design one-of-a-kind original pieces very much in the same spirit that I approached painting and drawing. I allow the piece to become by listening to the cues the creative process speak to me and I follow the piece where it leads to the place where it becomes.

All articles offered in my store are designed from the pattern to the finished product by yours truly, Danielle Celeste. I emphasize wearability, durabilty and originality, style and versatility, couture and tailoring in my designs. All of my pieces are hand-made and most are one-of-a-kind in addition to creating limited editions of three to five of a kind.

I would love to work personally with you about manifesting your design vision. I have a wide style vocabulary and have a talent for interpreting the vision of my clients.

just some personal history...

I studied Art History back in the days when it was still offered as a Major at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. Then I went to Chicago, Illinois to continue my artistic intellectual pursuits at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago or SAIC as it is known in the Windy City. The winds of fate blew me back to Oregon and then off to Upstate New York to study Fine Art at the Chautauqua Institution for two summer sessions.

My dream♥come♥true design studio is located in the charming attic of an historic three-story Victorian in a small town in Southern Oregon.
