CECIE McCAFFERY was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on a snowy winter’s day in November. After a rather idyllic childhood, walking by the river, writing poetry and doing art, she attended the University of Calgary. She received a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art of with emphasis on her first loves: painting and drawing. Cecie studied art history with U. of C. in Florence, Italy. She moved to the United States in 1979 and earned a Master’s degree in Fine Art in painting and drawing from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles CA; studying under Betye Saar, Miles Forest and Emerson Woelffer.
For 24 years, from 1983 to 2007, Cecie was Vice President, co-owner and sole artist of Pinx a Card Company Inc. in Ventura County. She designed hundreds of greeting cards with text and numerous gift products. The Greeting Card Association honored her with four Louie awards, the industry’s equivalent of an Oscar.
She is the mother of three beautiful and talented daughters; two on earth and one in heaven. Cecie lives in San Diego, where she is blissfully teaching art, designing greeting cards, painting and having a great deal of fun writing and illustrating her children’s stories. www.PinxLadyStudios.com
