celeste carlucci: dolls, wall hangings, tiles, shirts. embroidered, hand beaded fabric art and silkscreens.
Photograph of Celeste.  Behind her, sketchy drawings of some of her dolls are thrown together on a piece of paper.

I am a self-taught New York City artist. I love to play with color and textiles, bring my love of movement into my artwork, and wish I could draw a straight line. I hand stitch one-of-a-kind art dolls and accent them with vintage beads, buttons, and knots. My larger, figurative wall hangings are hand-stitched fabrics textured with embroidery, beads and buttons. They are stretched and framed and read as paintings.
