Meet the Designer & Artist
Ceci Mason is a designer & artist currently living in Virginia with her husband and two children, a daughter who is a Naval officer and a son who is studying at Virginia Tech. She grew up in the southern region of Portugal, where the scenic beauty of the local beaches and countryside farms continues to inspire her work today. Entertaining, family gatherings and her passion for the outdoors combined with the natural scenes throughout the Algarve influence her creativity and serve as her guiding light.
Her main focus is to communicate joy and capture the classic charm through her products. The bold brush strokes in her paintings and fabrics are filled with her inner happiness. Her colorful palettes and simplified forms create pieces that are full of light, approachable energy, and movement. Paintings brings her the greatest joy, and she loves sharing inspirational messages that lift others up. Sharing her work and using it to bring a little sunshine into in people's lives is what drives this artist every day.
About the Brand ~ Diga Linda
Diga Linda's mission is to celebrate beauty in every day life, to set a table, to send a note, or hang a piece of art that fills a space with joy. Our products reflect a love for flowers, art, table top décor, and vintage charm. With each collection, we hope to bring you the same happiness that inspires each design.
Ceci Mason is the founder and designer behind every Diga Linda creation. DIGA LINDA translates in Portuguese and Spanish to “Say Beautiful”. The name is also a tribute to Ceci's mother, Clarinda ("Clara Linda"), whose name means bright and beautiful, a spirit Ceci strives to reflect in her art.
Her creativity and practical ingenuity were inherited from her parents, who ran a rural farm and repair shop in Portugal . Learning to sew and make her own clothes from a young age shaped her approach to design, a blending beauty with purpose.
Luxe Blooms
The inspiration for Luxe Blooms, Ceci's faux floral line, came from a deeply personal place: her mother's love of flowers. Ceci often sent her mom fresh bouquets, until one day her mother said, "Please don't send me flowers anymore...they're beautiful, but they die, and I feel sad."
That heartfelt moment became a turning point. Ceci began creating faux floral arrangements for her mother so she could enjoy flowers that would last. Her mom even helped select some of the vases used in the early designs.
From that loving gesture grew Luxe Blooms, a line of everlasting floral arrangements and subscriptions for businesses. Each design captures the joy of real flowers with the timelessness of art allowing anyone to enjoy natural beauty without the fleeting nature of fresh blooms.
