✨ Artist Biography

Celine Soucy is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges sculpture, painting, land art, and assemblage. She creates with salvaged metal, resin, paint, and natural elements, exploring the interconnectedness between destruction and renewal. Her art inhabits the liminal space between realism and abstraction, where memory, body, and nature converge in transformation.

Soucy draws inspiration from a wide range of artists who navigate illusion, impermanence, and humanity’s dialogue with the natural and spiritual world. Her influences include M.C. Escher, Andy Goldsworthy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alex Grey, Salvador Dalí, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Ernst Haeckel, Rembrandt, Albrecht Dürer, Banksy, Hieronymus Bosch, John Singer Sargent, Gregory Colbert, Russell Mills, Jo Whaley, Bordalo II, Gillie and Marc Schattner, and Shel Silverstein. Each influence resonates differently in her work — from Escher’s logic to Basquiat’s intuition, from Goldsworthy’s impermanence to da Vinci’s timeless inquiry.

Her artistic journey is inseparable from her lived experience. Living with complex PTSD and functional neurological disorder, Soucy learned to use art as both language and medicine. Each gesture in her studio retrains the body and restores connection between physical, emotional, and spiritual systems. Her process transforms paralysis into motion and fragmentation into coherence.

Many of her early works no longer exist — lost to fire, repurposing, or decay — yet their disappearance shaped her philosophy of creation as cyclical rather than permanent. This impermanence underpins her environmental ethos: that renewal requires release, and that the act of making is inseparable from letting go.

Soucy has also taught art in diverse settings — from children and elders to individuals with cerebral palsy and autism — believing that creativity is not a privilege but a human instinct. Her teaching mirrors her art: intuitive, inclusive, and rooted in empathy.

Her studio practice continues to expand across media, from kinetic installations to site-specific works that merge natural and industrial forms. Each piece invites the viewer into an encounter with impermanence — to look again at what is broken and find within it the quiet pulse of becoming.
