Celia Benge was born in 1888 in the hills of Kentucky when women were expected to tend to the children, take care of the farm, and feed their families. They were not expected to paint or be entrepreneurs. Celia defied that expectation by making room for her ingenuity and creativity which ended up improving the lives of countless young girls in Appalachia. Celia made room for her wings and in doing so, taught countless others to fly, including my dad and myself. For this gift, I am forever grateful.
