CELLY PIANTA CUNNINGHAM
Augusta, GA

For Celly art and life began when she settled in Rome, Italy in the 60s.  She worked as a model for the Academy of Art and during that time became absorbed with the concepts of light and form.  This interest led to a passion for black and white photography. Celly had the opportunity to photograph many famous visual and performing artists while in Rome, including Leonard Bernstein.  Celly’s work has appeared in numerous magazines.

Celly moved to Augusta in 1993.  This photograph is from a series of her loving memories of the ancient city of Rome.  Celly’s work is available for sale at Pastel on Central.
