While Celeste Malin has always loved art, she is new to actually expressing herself through art. She was born with cerebral palsy, which hindered the motor functions needed to create art. Celeste thought that she simply couldn’t make art. In the last five years, she has discovered that her artistic bent remains, and is in fact growing. She has learned how to create in spite of and from within the limitations of her condition. The process of making art is freeing, and is a part of her journey. Celeste’s ability to create art is a direct gift from God, and when she finally allowed herself to use the abilities He gave her, she experienced growth and healing.
