Ceci has recently created a line of custom-painted ceramics and paper goods in her signature style. "I love the idea of making art we can use every day,” she says. "I think a butter dish and a pot holder should be as beautiful as the art hung in my living room. I look at them more often." Ceci lives in Berkeley, California with her husband, her three sons and a large collection of paper dolls—all of whom figure in her inspiration.
