About the Artist
Cecile was born in 1959, in Sept Isles, Quebec, Canada, the middle of six children (twins). She moved with
her family to the United States in 1966. It was a life long dream for her father, who had emigrated from
Czechoslovakia. Her mother is from French Canadian descent.
She received her B.F.A. from the Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus, Ohio in 1982, where she
graduated President's List, and her M.F.A. from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln in 1986. She had the
honor, of receiving the top award in the Graduated Art Department that same year. From graduate school,
she went on to teach, full time, at Graceland College, in Lamoni, Iowa, from 1986 to 1989. Her last year
there she was unanimously promoted to Assistant Professor. Cecile is now a professional artist, residing just
outside of Atlanta, in Pine Lake, Georgia.

Artist Statement
My Paintings are a way of telling a
story, sometimes about people, life
lessons, or an ideal view of the world.
Whether it's an abstract, a room
interior, or a landscape, I enjoy
creating relationships between
shapes and negative space. Often
composing the figure in impossible
anatomical poses, in order to achieve
a specific shape. I love using color,
pattern, hand stenciled collage
papers, and composition gold leaf.
