About the artist:

First and foremost, Cecilia is a mixed-media artist whose non-objective abstractions flaunt her love for texture and color. She loves her StencilGirl stencils and uses them frequently as part of her collection of tools for designing faces of canvases to give them life. She creates mixed-media abstractions for the joy of it and paints every day. (Her friends know that if they call during morning hours, they will be leaving messages to be answered later!) Until the demise of The Rubber Stamper magazine, Cecilia worked as one of that publication's Contributing Designers where her art appeared monthly, and was once featured as cover art! Her artwork has also appeared in Cloth Papers Scissors, Altered Arts, Expression, Somerset Galleria, and Crafts n' Things. Cecilia's book-inclusion credits include the ebook series Journey into Abstracts by Sue St. John and the soft-cover book Exploring the Latest Trends in Mixed Media, Vol. II by Cynthia Powell and Sherre Hulbert. Her art has frequently appeared in the tri-state juried annual Monmouth Festival of the Arts, Tinton Falls, NJ; and her altered cigar boxes are sold at the gift shop in the Monmouth Museum, Lincroft, NJ.
