Celia Reigle remembers the fall of 1959 in Havana, Cuba, when her teacher gave the class the assignment to create a drawing for a contest for the city\u2019s largest newspaper. The winning illustration would accompany a Christmas story in the paper. \u201cAs usual, on the day the homework was due, I had to scramble during my lunch break to get it done,\u201d Reigle says. Weeks later, the assignment was not on her mind when she was called to the office. She walked there anxiously contemplating what trouble she might be in. \u201cImagine the surprise when I was profusely congratulated for winning the contest,\u201d she says, \u201cand was awarded the largest box of Prismacolor pencils I had ever laid eyes on. That was the beginning of my love for art.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69400\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69400\" class=\"wp-image-69400\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Nocturnal-Dance.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"426\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-69400\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nocturnal Dance. Celia Reigle, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Two years later, she found herself on a plane alone, escaping Cuba. When the plane landed in Miami, she was met by \u201ca totally different country, different language and very tall people,\u201d she says. From there, she went to the Pacific Northwest where she lived for 15 years. It is, she says, \u201ca place where nature is involved in just about all of the entertainment, and the weather awareness was an everyday concern.\u201d She marveled at the sight of the Cascade Mountains, the cold Pacific, the Oregon high desert and the volcanoes. \u201cThe sunlight was different in each place, the textures different, the evergreens awe-inspiring,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Although she had saved money all through high school to attend college, other detours lay around the bend. \u201cOne marriage and two children later, I was back in Miami working in the corporate world,\u201d she says. \u201cDespite working a 9-to-5 job, I still found a way to mix in\u2014unrequested\u2014a little art and humor by illustrating the weekly sales results at every opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was not until early retirement, however, and at her husband\u2019s urging, that she took up a paintbrush again. \u201cWe attended an art class at a local high school,\u201d Reigle says. \u201cI found my long-lost calling. I sold my first painting, and shortly thereafter I began classes with two well-known, internationally recognized artists\u2014which I have continued until today.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69399\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69399\" class=\"wp-image-69399\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Fruits-Il.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Fruits-Il.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Fruits-Il.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Fruits-Il.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Fruits-Il.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Fruits-Il.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Fruits-Il.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-1140x1520.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-69399\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fruits II. Celia Reigle, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Her life experiences and her travels serve as inspiration for her art. \u201cIn my world, I paint what I see, not necessarily what is there,\u201d she says. \u201cI take a photo of moments that affect me for reasons that might evade me at that moment\u2014whether it is a glorious landscape or an old man sitting on a park bench. I then try to sketch the vision as little as possible (to leave room to figure out what impacted me) on rich linen, on always welcoming canvas or the always loving and forgiving paper. Then, altering the acrylic to behave almost like watercolor, I start layering the colors, sometimes adding colorful inks, bits of nature, broken glass, found items and textures. The tools may be rough hardware paintbrushes, spatulas, my hands or anything I find, adding layer by layer until a diffuse riot of color takes form.\u201d Sometimes she works on a series until she has exhausted all possibilities for the same image. \u201cI paint to entrap the image in the colors I see in my soul, to let the now-changed image into my world,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Reigle still lives and works in Miami, but a move to Mars Hill by her son and his wife introduced her to Western North Carolina. \u201cI come up to the verdant mountains around Spruce Pine every summer with the best excuses in the world: to be near my children and the art scene of Asheville,\u201d Reigle says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69401\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69401\" class=\"wp-image-69401\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Out-Of-Your-Mind-I.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Out-Of-Your-Mind-I.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Out-Of-Your-Mind-I.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Out-Of-Your-Mind-I.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Out-Of-Your-Mind-I.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Out-Of-Your-Mind-I.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-320x200.jpg 320w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Out-Of-Your-Mind-I.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-810x507.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cover-Artist-Celia-Reigle-Out-Of-Your-Mind-I.-Celia-Reigle-artist-copy-2-1140x713.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-69401\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Out of Your Mind I.

A couple of years ago, while traversing the galleries all over this region, looking for the right venue for my work, I stopped at Mars Landing Galleries, and she mentioned she would be going to Miami in the winter and would like to see my studio.

She truly delights in each viewer\u2019s unique take of her work, which speaks to her low-key and humble nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Mars Landing Galleries is located at 37 Library Street, Mars Hill.
