Celine Meador
Impressionist Photography, Acrylic Painting, Watercolor and Gouache

An Alabama gulf coast native, Celine Meador began her writing and photography career as a reporter for a Florida daily newspaper—and developed a love not only for taking pictures, but the creative magic of darkroom work.  As a photojournalist and later a corporate communications director, she received many professional awards including Who’s Who Among American Women.

In time she followed her dreams to the Cayman Islands to be a magazine photographer, but soon began an entirely new career as a managing partner of a well known scuba diving resort catering to underwater photographers. 

Fascinated with the beauty and brilliant color of the underwater, Celine logged hundreds of Caribbean dives with her Nikonos Camera in hand and  founded a publishing company reproducing fine paintings of underwater and other tropical subjects. A prolific painter, photographer and writer,  she brings together much of what she enjoys into her work.




The author of several books, including Dare To Be Different (Tyndale House Publishers), and Star of Wonder (Blue Canoe Books) which are available online and in bookstores. Celine also authored a line of poetic prints and greeting cards whicn may be found in many fine gift shops.

Celine now lives in Mebane, North Carolina. She does private commission work in writing, photography, and graphic design and is the recipient of a number of awards and honors in these fields.
