In August 2015, she had her 2nd exhibition in London, where she debuted a pair of 'afro futuristic' mermaids and an amazing rendition of Josephine Baker, (which sold in October.)  She also has an ongoing collection of metallic 3-d eco paintings.   Amidst her world travels,  Fanta was honored to participate in DakArt 2012, in Dakar, Senegal, (where she sold 5 paintings),  and has permanent art on display in the African Union and the National Museum of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She also received the Black Excellence award from the African American Arts Alliance, in 2012 at the Dusable Museum in Chicago,  USA.

Fanta Celah is often coined,  a Renaissance woman, due to her many talents. She is a notable jewelry designer, that recently participated in the Ebony Fashion Fair's 50th anniversary fashion show. Ms. Celah studied and performed with Phil Cohran  as a jazz vocalist for 8 years,  and will soon debut her new single, 'Traveling,'  which was filmed,  recorded in Accra, Ghana by Wanlov Kubulor. She is also a henna tattoo artist of 19 years, a reiki energy healer of 12 years, and a natural model.  Fanta was casted in her first leading role in 'Bar Star City, in 2015, playing a kemetic (nubian) warrior princess (written & directed by Ytasha Womack).

In Fanta’s 2011 collection, entitled "The Rebirth of Soul," she utilizes recycled materials such as mangoes and dehydrated citrus peels to express her personal mission to maintain respect for the earth and its natural resources. This dynamic ingenuity caused her to win the Black Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement in Visual Arts, 3-D & Mixed Media.

Fanta’s compositions range from abstract to portraiture. She especially enjoys painting landscapes and seascapes, that allow you to enjoy the sunrise from the comforts of your living room. 

Ms. Celah works with oil and acrylic paint, & her brilliant use of color induces the higher senses and her ultimate goal is to touch people inwardly, to heal, and she continues to inspire people all over the world. When exhibiting in London in November 2011, she was featured on a location TV station, "VoxAfrica" , which consisted of a full interview & a pictorial documentation of her art & her career.
