Camilla is a multimedia artist working out of her home in San Pedro, CA.
Her work draws inspiration from photos of family, friends, animals, and the beauty of nature in her environment. Words from poetry and quotations are often incorporated into the visual themes.

This website is dedicated to my dear friend and mentor,
Annette Ciketic
Having never touched a paintbrush nor taken any art classes, Annette gave me the gift of a series of art classes when I retired from education in 2004. Annette and I had been most fortunate to have studied at Immaculate Heart College, a liberal arts college for women located in Hollywood. One of our mentors and instructors was Sister Corita Kent, the renowned serigraph artist, printmaker, and educator. She was a determined and intense teacher who influenced us to understand and feel the essence of creativity, become free spirits, look carefully at our world, and to realize how the elements of art affect teaching and life in general.
Annette is my inspiration and mentor. With her leading the way, I have been blessed with a liberating life experience as I move along on my journey.
Serigraph by Corita Kent
