Celia Perceval
Born in Brighton, Melbourne in 1949, Celia Perceval is primarily a self-taught painter. She developed her inspiration for drawing and painting in the artistic environment created by her parents, Mary Boyd and the late John Perceval, and first exhibited at the age of sixteen. Her earliest mentors included members of Melbourne’s famous “Angry Penguins” group, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Albert Tucker and, of course, her father, John Perceval.
