While working full-time at the Kansas City Power Light Company, his free time was devoted to his art. During the 1950s and 1960s, he became widely known in the Midwest for his sculptures which were exhibited at The Jocelyn Museum, the Nelson Atkins Museum, the Denver Art Museum, the Mulvane Art Center in Topeka and the St. Louis Art Museum and, apparently, others; since this sculpture is accompanied by a small tri-fold pamphlet from the 1960s exhibition of Cecil's sculpture and his wife Blanche's graphics at the Birger Sandzen Memorial Gallery in Lindsborg, Kansas.3) FRED BATSON wheel thrown stoneware bowl in green glaze is initialed under the base.4) KAREN BELL slab-built type stoneware bowl with short pedestal foot and hanger is carved back sgraffito style from glazed to unglazed in designs of Anasazi inspiration.
