Cecelia Ivy Price was born in Buffalo in 1986. She began to study painting at first at the nearby Niagara County Community College and, after moving to Fredonia in 2013, she deepened her studies in drawing and painting at SUNY Fredonia State with Cuban-American painter Alberto Rey. In particular she devoted herself to gothic and figurative painting.

In 2015 after graduating with honours (cum laude) from the SUNY Fredonia, she began to work with adults with disabilities as well as the elderly to create artworks as an Art Facilitator. Then she moved to Cleveland to further hone her painting skills and obtained a Master's in Art Education.

At the beginning of 2020 Cecelia was at the Chateau Orquevaux Artist Residency in Eastern France. She has also traveled to the UK to lecture about her work at the Skeletons, Stories and Social Bodies Exhibit (2018). Cecelia has recently returned to the Western New York region.

Her paintings have graced the book covers of writer Jesse Pholman’s Jacin's Vacation to Orrassin's Wood: A Short Tale of Emor (Pillars Of The Kingdom), Protostar: An Automatic Apocalypse Vol 2, Pillars of the Kingdom Volume Three: A Decadent Demi-Goddess, & The Bartenders of the Nexus Tavern.
