Did You Know...
Cecilia Glencross – Art for Feeling Good31st May to 24th June 2005Cecilia was born in Stockholm, Sweden. She trained for three years in design crafts and haute couture dressmaking, creating one-off garments that were sold in boutiques in the old part of Stockholm. She spent her summers on an island surrounded by the Baltic Sea and drew much of her inspiration from the natural colours, textures and shapes that she found there. Cecilia used only natural fibres – silk and wool – and selected the raw wool at source, spinning, dying and weaving it by hand. She painted and embroidered on silk and used appliqué and beads. Each garment was exclusive and unique, and was approached like a work of art. She often cut material on the bias to produce the flowing and moving lines that are now so characteristic of her style as an artist. Cecilia has been interested in healing and the holistic approach to health for many years. She uses her painting to channel healing. It allows her to give full expression to her feelings and is a way of coming to terms with life – stress, grief, pain or joy. It has helped her to find inner stillness and peace. Her aim is that her journey to healing through painting will help others to empower themselves.
