Participation & Certifications
Regina Montesano Schilling
Regina Montesano Schilling launched Art on Fire Studio after a 30+ year career in financial technology where she specialized in business analysis, process optimization and operational strategy. As she began planning her long-term transition into retirement, Regina chose to redirect her analytical discipline and project-driven approach toward the one thing that consistently fueled her interest: hands-on, community-centered creative work.
At Art on Fire Studio, Regina applies the same structured thinking she brought to fintech - workflow design, customer experience modeling, financial controls and strategic planning - to build a studio that is both artistically vibrant and operationally sound. She develops curriculum across clay handbuilding, pottery painting, fused glass and mosaic work, leads workshops and camps and manages community partnerships, pop-up markets and studio events.
Her focus is straightforward: deliver high-quality, approachable art experiences while maintaining strong margins and a sustainable business model. Art on Fire Studio is the product of that balance—where Regina’s professional rigor and creative passion meet.
