Celia Sislow is self taught artist in various mediums of art.  She found her passion in clay. Painting is relaxing, her work shows her attention to details, application of colors and variety of designs, her work comes from the heart and her whimsy character. I enjoy taking a design and making it into the various products that we offer. When we participate in art shows, I enjoy sharing my passion with the customers, listen and appreciate their opinions of colors, addition of various designs, various products, and thoroughly enjoy their delight when they see a design that makes them laugh. Celia has been recognized with her work in several local newspaper articles, won various awards at art shows for her presentation of her work and her unique product, selected as Featured Artist at an Art Show. I am truly blessed by the talent by which God has granted to me to bring such joy to many, which in turn humbles me everyday.

I love what I do, bringing joy to people thru Functional Art!
