We were lucky to catch up with Celeste Jones recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Celeste, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
Resilience, for me, springs from a deep-rooted passion for art and design, intertwined with a profound belief in their transformative power. Growing up, I was surrounded by creativity; my parents were both artists, and our home was a vibrant tapestry of colors, textures, and stories. This upbringing instilled in me not only an appreciation for beauty but also a relentless drive to share it with the world.
When I founded the gallery and interior design business, I knew it wouldn’t be easy. The art world is unpredictable, and interior design projects often come with their own set of unique challenges. However, every obstacle I face is an opportunity to innovate and grow. My resilience is fueled by the artists and clients I work with—their trust in my vision and their joy upon seeing the final result are incredibly motivating.
Moreover, resilience is about adaptability. The world of art and design is ever-evolving, and staying ahead requires continuous learning and a willingness to embrace change. Whether it’s integrating new technology, exploring emerging art forms, or understanding shifting market trends, I remain committed to evolving my practice.
Lastly, my resilience is anchored in a supportive community. From my dedicated team to the network of artists and clients who believe in our mission, their encouragement and collaboration provide the strength to navigate any setback. Together, we create spaces and experiences that inspire, uplift, and endure.
In essence, my resilience is a blend of passion, adaptability, community support, and an unwavering commitment to the transformative power of art and design. It’s this combination that keeps me moving forward, no matter the challenges that come my way.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
