Cicely weaves nature and nostalgia into tactile, surrealist visions. A Des Moines native now calling Charlotte home, she uses mixed media to build layered worlds that demand a second look. By blending the organic influence of animals and flora with intentional pops of color, Cicely’s work transcends the canvas to foster a sense of hope, urging her audience to find the beauty and optimism hidden within the layers of life.

She fuses mixed-media surrealism and tactile abstraction, creating a vibrant, maximalist approach to color and texture. By layering physical materials with bold, saturated pigments, she creates an immersive visual experience that feels both grounded in nature and elevated by a dreamy, optimistic energy.
