Celeste De Luna is an artist/printmaker who grew up in the lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Her work seeks to articulate and document personal and collective experiences in the material, spiritual, and supernatural world. Rooted in a Chicana feminist perspective, she aims to tease out the intricacies of living in and along the borderlands in her art, envisioning a fantastical, futuristic frontera.
De Luna is self-taught in printmaking, using the techniques to create artworks that include large-scale woodcut prints and fabric installation. She is a cofounder of the socially engaged art collective Las Imaginistas, as well as being an accomplished home cook and a cultural advocate. Her recipes appear in the book Don’t Count the Tortillas by Adan Medrano, and she herself appears in Medrano’s film Truly Texas Mexican that advocates for traditional food, street vendors, and cultural life ways. Currently De Luna lives in San Antonio with her family, works out of her home studio Metztli Press, and teaches Mexican-American Studies for Northwest Vista College.
