Celina Bauer
“Flower Festival”
Redwood Healthcare
Celina spent most of her life in El Salvador where she was born. She grew up in a close family with two brothers and a sister and was a studious child. She attended a girl's school where her athletic abilities were nurtured on softball and basketball teams. Celina developed a love of drawing in her early years. She later studied to be a secretary and joined both her parents in the profession working for the government.
She moved to the United States ten years ago, living first with friends in Washington D.C. and eventually joining her brother in California. She worked as a housekeeper for several years while attending school to learn English. She has never forgotten her native country and used to return when she was able for visits. Today she enjoys art classes at Oakhill Springs and visiting with her youngest brother.
"I didn't have any past experience with art", Celina says. "I paint from what I feel. It just comes naturally."
