EXPRESSIONS OF APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR ESSENTIAL WORKERS
Receives Honorable Mention & Exhibition!
April 26, 2020 Cedar Grove
Cedar Grove resident, Cara Cilento, has become a force to reckon with in the up and coming
world of photography and wearable art.
“I really didn’t expect the attention I received.” Ms. Cilento said, “But I’m thankful for it.” When
speaking about her beginnings, she smiles. “A few years ago, I won an interior design consult as part
of a tricky tray. The designer asked who took all the photographs I had on my walls. I thought he was
going to tell me to take them down but when I told him it was me, he stepped closer and told me I
had a good eye and talent.”
Within a year, Ms. Cilento started to hone her talent and had won two honorable mentions
through The International ND Awards and International Chromatic Awards for Photomanipulation.
Ms. Cilento, mother of two, has had her artwork shown from coast to coast. Most recently, it was
shown at the Fine Art of Photography Exposition in Massachusetts. To her surprise, she was the only
artist from New Jersey chosen to appear. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, exhibition opportunities
have been forced online or delayed.
“I know families are suffering with the guidelines we need to keep each other safe and healthy.
I, myself, have family who had COVID-19 and a brother who is a first responder. You can’t help but
feel helpless when you’re quarantined from those you need to help.”
Ms. Cilento has decided to offer her in-stock artwork at a discounted rate and donate 50% of the
profit to First Responders Children’s Foundation. Her first listings, “Compass” and “Fire Escape
Soliloquy” are valued at $350.00 but will be offered at $150.00. To see samples of Ms. Cilento’s work,
you can visit her online gallery https://www.firesigncreations.com.
