Cecily began drawing in 2022 and quickly fell in love with the medium. Sketches evolved into animal portraits, and by March 2023, she changed careers to become a full-time artist. Cecily is drawn to the symbolic and spiritual qualities of animals, choosing each one for a specific trait she hopes to embody in her own life. For example, the panda—symbolising peace, luck, and patience—was chosen during a time she was consciously cultivating those qualities. Her work is both personal and intuitive.

Focusing on wildlife subjects allows Cecily to showcase the intricate details and vibrant hues that make our natural world so awe-inspiring. Through her art, Cecily hopes to not only convey the beauty and symbolism of these creatures but to also raise awareness about the importance of conserving our delicate ecosystems.

In addition to her artistic pursuits, Cecily is also a part-time yoga teacher and Registered Nutritionist.

Combining yoga and nutrition in clinical practice allows Cecily to teach the importance of diet and lifestyle through to the more spiritual and mindful practices found in the physical and philosophical practice of yoga.
