Welcome to Cessa's Place! We have renamed the bookstore to be more in line with my thoughts on curling up in a comfy old chair, surrounded by bookshelves and simply immersing yourself in the written word. In this store you will find books by the finest LDS authors, jewelery, art, statuary, pottery, fragrances, etc. Check back often as we add more products to this store.

"When I'm not writing, I'm painting, singing with the Southern Utah Heritage Choir, searching out my ancestors, and serving in the St. George Temple with my husband, Brent. The rest of the time is taken up with traveling to see, or entertaining our four sons and their families when they come to visit. There are 15 grandchildren who have decorated our family tree. Oh, what a beautiful tree."
I have one of JoAnn's prints hanging in my home and it brightens my outlook every time I glance at it. So check back near the end of this week and you'll be able to purchase for yourself, prints of JoAnn's paintings. Click here to browse the artwork of JoAnn Arnold.
Derek Hegsted is a classical realist who uses the verdaccio underpainting method. This is the style of Renaissance masters such as Rembrandt, Bouguereau, and DaVinci. Due to this process, a single painting can take as long as a year. In the picture to your left he is working on "Light of the World, which graces the walls of my own home.
Many of Derek's paintings have been published in religious publications, and on book and music covers, and have won many awards. Derek was the first to win the coveted international L. Ron Hubbard Gold Award Grand Prize, where artists from 45 different countries enter in hopes of winning. His art is known worldwide and has sold over 300,000 prints.
I have two of Derek's prints hanging in my home right now. Each time I look at "Angel of Gethsemane" my heart actually clutches. You will not regret purchasing a print from this master. Click here to browse the artwork of Derek Hegsted.
We are so pleased to bring to Cessa's Place the exquisite handcrafting of artisan, Michael Wallace. This meticulously crafted brass Liahona which took over five years of research, thousands of man hours of creation and the skill and incredible talent of the artist, Michael Wallace, to produce the piece, is breathtaking in its beauty. Highly symbolic of many LDS religious concepts, it is a true masterpiece that will be a "must have" addition to any art collection. Comprised of sixty individual pieces,there are so many facets to this single piece of historic art, that we are only able to show a few. Each Liahona will be created in a limited edition and will take (200 Man Hours) four weeks for creation and two weeks for delivery. Michael Wallace will sign and number each piece which will then be placed in a beautiful hand-crafted wooden display box and delivered to your front door. Michael is continuing to work on other equally exquisite art that will be added to the website as they are created. Click here to browse pictures of this beautiful work of art by Michael Wallace.
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." ::: Pablo Picasso :::
