Our Staff

Bella’s Wishes is an all-female family business with deep ties to the local area and especially Ambridge.  These ties made the decision easy, as we looked for the home for this unique creative space that includes an Artisan Market, the Café de Art, and the Creative Garden.

Bernadette Rozman Bellas and her niece, Christina Marie Rozman are the co-owners and Bernadette’s daughter-in-law, Katelyn Marie Powner is the Center’s Manager.

Christina is the Art Director and grew up in Fair Oaks. She attended Quaker Valley High School and completed two years of undergraduate work at Penn State Behrend before returning home to work in the arts and hone her artistic skills. She is completing her bachelor’s degree at Robert Morris University in Business Administration. Christina is talented in many different media and is the lead instructor in the Creative Garden.  She offers private lessons on the pottery wheel and offers private and community lessons in a wide range of media.

Katelyn is the Center's Manager; she grew up near State College, PA, graduated from State College High School and Pennsylvania College of Technology. She has lived in southwestern PA since 2007. Her skills from culinary school will be very beneficial in the Café de Art as well as the overall operations of the Center.  She is married Bernadette's son, Bret and they recently they bought a home in the area.

Bernadette lives in Baden; a block away from her childhood home. She is a graduate of Quigley Catholic High School (1983) and received her undergraduate degree from Geneva College (BSBA, 1994) and received her MBA from Robert Morris University (1997).
