Celia Gray

June

September

These two encaustic paintings were created by Celia Gray, but this Asheville artist is well-versed in other craft disciplines such as blacksmithing, fiber arts, and metal-smithing. A two year student of Penland School of Crafts, Gray's work combines traditional methods with contemporary aesthetics.
Look for Gray's belt buckles and jewelry at The Big Crafty on July 12 and her encaustic paintings at Blue Spiral 1 next fall.
