Biography

Passionate about children's book illustration and story-telling, Cella is a whimsical watercolorist that brings emotions to life with color and character. She loves swing dancing, nerding out about linguistics, and reading the biographies of unusual canonized Catholic saints. You can find Cella and her spouse in the central New Jersey area exploring less-visited beaches, playing music at the Coffee House in Edison, and hosting events for the South Amboy/Sayreville Catholic Young Adult Group.

Cella's greeting cards and icons are for sale in her online shop, cellabellailluminations.com as well as at occasional local craft fairs.
