Artist and entrepreneur Celicia was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, and migrated to the United States in 1999. In June 2014, she was inspired by a vision in Sedona, Arizona, to open her company, Authentic Heartwork Art from the Heart. You can read more about her journey in her book, *Reset*, available on Amazon. A decade later, she earned certifications from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, as well as Small Business Services, making her company the first art-based organization to hold such a variety of certifications from both the City and the State. Her services include murals, design, enrichment programs, paint parties, workshops, custom canvas art, pet paintings, consulting services, virtual videos, and, on rare occasions, face and body painting for select customers.
