Cecile Albert Naggar Create Your Badge

Cecile Albert Naggar was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and grew up in Hull (Gatineau), Quebec, Canada. When she was 6 years old, her grandmother inspired her with some fun drawing tips which fired up in Cecile's life-long love of art. From grade 4, teachers asked her to draw the Christmas themes in the classroom. In High School she was the only artist for the monthly school Newspaper two years in a row for which she was in-charge of creating the covers, the illustrations, and the cartoons. Her favorite teacher in high school gave her a gift of an Art Kit to thank Cecile for her after-school volunteer help. She is a direct decendent of the portraitist Samuel de Wilde (b. 1748) Although she had a love for drawing, she was encouraged to strive for a secure job in the government as she was told that one cannot make a living as an artist. On finishing high school she worked in the government for 10 years but kept drawing and used her artistic talent in creating crafts. She hand-crafted clay cats, dogs, frogs, beavers, elephants, and mice, which she sold at various craft stores. Then in her spare time she studied professional art and passed with Honors. She continued her passion for art by illustrating and publishing some books. A website she created was called "My Paper People World", where she sold paper dolls which were drawn from photographs of a person's child (people could send the photos and have it created for them) or a paper doll for each member of a family - along with clothes and accessories. She found that there is beauty everywhere by traveling to England, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and Egypt. Her admiration of Egypt has help her to create a series of Egyptian inspired art. Cecile's progress was haulted by 6 years of being in and out of the hospital with various illnesses. Now, she is back on track with a new beginning to her professional art career by offering to do a Portrait from a Photo - and coming soon is a new wonderous group of paintings called ... "The Journeyman" Series", which will reflect a voyage of her life using the stages of the Tarot Cards (her other passion) as an inspiration. The sets in this series will be called: "Learning"; "Challenges"; "Demons within"; and "Spiritual Achievement". Look for their arrival in the "Very Special Themes" web page.
