Hello! I’m Celine Gordon—an artist and illustrator based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Off Grid Studio is my independent art studio where I create designs inspired by the rhythms, patterns, and connections in our Southwest landscape. Using silkscreen, block printing, riso, and earth pigments, each piece is made by hand and rooted in a deep sense of place.

For me, this creative practice has been an opportunity to operate outside of mainstream structures and expectations by pursuing art and illustration full-time. Being "off the grid" metaphorically often signifies a deliberate choice to reject or distance oneself from the pressures, routines, or constraints of society. It suggests a desire for independence, self-sufficiency, and a simpler or more alternative way of life. To adopt an off-grid mindset is to seek to minimize reliance on external systems, opting for self-reliance, sustainability, and a closer connection to nature.
