"Caterpillar Man and his orange-eyed friends" was chosen for the "Best Handwork" award at Larson Gallery. Wait to go Caterpillar man!

For some reason three shows ended up opening on the same night! I had no idea what I was thinking, but I know I have been busy prepping for shows that I am participating in May.

First off, I have my piece "Red Dress" opening in the Austin, TX group show "Blending of Cultures". It will feature fiber work from Texas artists at the Mexican American Cultural Center. You can click here to find out more info.

I will also have a piece on display at the Faculty Show at Lillstreet Art Center, where I am an instructor in the Textile Department. There should be great work from all disciplines. The artist's reception is from 3-6pm at 4401 N Ravenswood, Chicago IL.

For the evening, come relax at the Seneca Hotel, where I will be a part of the group show, NEON AND WORRIED, going on during Art Chicago. View works from local and NY artists. Here is the info:

I will be participating in a group show at Larson Gallery in Yakima, WA from April 9- May 5th. My favorite piece, "Caterpillar Man and his orange-eyed Friends", will be on display and is also up for a couple of awards. Good luck Caterpillar Man!!!

I will be participating in a group show Friday, February 5th, as part of the Flat Iron Building's opening for first Fridays. I will have new work on display, and one old favorite. Click here for more info.

Exciting news to say the least. This was my first time participating in the event, and I had a great time meeting new artists and art lovers alike. I am honored, and still a bit in shock, that I was the recipient of the Best in Show award. I will continue to smile and do cartwheels on the inside.

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to announce that I will be participating in the Renegade Handmade Craft Fair next weekend, September 12-13. The event will be held in the Wicker Park neighborhood, along Division Street from 11am -7pm. I will be in booth #32 between Damen and Winchester, so please come by and visit. I would love to see some friendly faces! I will be showcasing new paintings, drawings, and my artwork alongside new items that I can't wait to share. Be sure to look for my "La Otra Camilla" banner and flags waving from my tent!

The event is free, and there will be live music and drinks alongside many unique vendors. I hope that you can make it to one of Chicago's biggest arts and crafts fairs. See you next weekend, rain or shine!
