Stella’s Art, Inc. started as a mother/daughter team influenced by the family’s matriarch, Filomenia Stellabotte who was a painter, sculptor, and seamstress. The duo, Carol Pitts and Dani Klein, create unique pieces of handmade pottery, painted glassware, acrylic paintings, and manage Stella’s Art Gallery. Today, Stella’s supports over 45 local artists from Northeast Ohio. From glass work, paintings, pottery, blacksmithing and jewelry, woodworking, photography, drawing and collaging we have a large variety of art for your homes, office, and gift giving needs.

Meet the Artists
Filomenia Stellabotte - Painter, Sculptor, Seamstress.
Filomemia Stellbotte (1915-2009), AKA Phyllis, was a very talent individual and the Inspiration for the family business . At the age of 16 she graduated from high school in Manhattan, New York and was recognized for her artistic talent at an early age. Phyllis was granted a full scholarship to the famous Art Institution of New York in Manhattan. But, at that time she fell in love, got married, and moved with her newlywed husband, Joe, to Pennsylvania. While raising her family she independently perfected her talents and passed them on to her children and later, her grandchildren. She was an expert at oil painting, ceramics and sewing.
There was nothing Phyllis couldn’t do when it came to painting or sewing. I should know, she was my mom. -Carol Pitts
