B.F.A graduate from Arizona State University & a graduate of The Gemini School of Visual Art & Communication
I earned my B.F.A. in Drawing and Painting from Arizona State University, and my degree-equivalent certification in Concept Design & Illustration from The Gemini School of Visual Art and Communication.I’m a trained visual artist skilled in traditional drawing, painting, illustration, concept design, and digital painting.
I teach to nurture the growth of your artistic knowledge roots and creative wings. I know what it’s like to search and seek only to come up short or empty on the substance of what you need to grow. I teach to be the bridge across that gap for fellow artists’ journeys.
I will share my knowledge and connect you with additional resources to help you propel your art as far as you dream.
Alongside traditional drawing and painting, Ms. Cecely has a passion for teaching figure drawing.
Ms. Cecely has been part of our ART+Academy team since 2021. She teaches adult classes at our NW location and online classes for ages 9 yrs. old - adults.

- Digital Art & Animation with Procreate and Photoshop.
What students say about Ms. Cecely class
The teachers at Art Academy (Mrs. Cecely and Mrs. Rosemarie), has taught my young boys to be more expressive and confident with their school work, along with improving their fine motor skills. The teachers are always patience, and nurturing while having small class sizes. I would Highly recommend taking a course with these talented teachers!
