live slow, bike fast
Hey :~) it’s me, Celina.
I live and play in the canadian rockies with roots on the west coast. I am a multidisciplinary artist with expertise in ceramics & design.
My studio is located in Jasper National Park on Treaty 6 and 8 Territories as well as Métis Region 4. This land is the traditional territory, meeting ground, gathering place, travelling route and home for the Danezaa (Beaver), Nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinaabe (Ojibway), Secwépemc (Shuswap), Stoney Nakoda and Métis.
From tree to sea, mountain to prairie, my work is largely inspired by where I plant my feet.
I believe it is in my greater purpose to create art that connects people to their natural environments. I am not interested in doing things, to do things. I am here to create work that reflects fluctuating landscapes, activism with functionality to impact generations beyond my existence.
Art will out live us all, after all.
I am an artist seeking

What is live slow, bike fast
You’ll hear them say “Live fast, die young”
We live in a world of fast. Fast internet, fast fashion, fast food, fast shipping. It all moves so fast. A young version of me once said to my grandpa “I wish my birthday would come faster” and he simply replied “don’t wish your life away, one day you’ll blink and it will feel like it went by too fast.”
I want to take the scenic route, to learn to garden, to make a wicked batch of lemon crinkle cookies, to create limitless pieces, to learn guitar, to enjoy the fleeting sunshine, to nest in my home and I want travel inwards and outwards. I don’t want those things to go fast, I’ll save the fast moments for my bike, the hill, the running shoes.
Instead of living fast, I want to live slow.
