Camilla d’Errico is an artistic dynamo - a highly accomplished painter
and comic-book artist as well as a clothing, product, and custom-toy
designer. Her handiwork captivates admirers around the world, and
some of her best-known creations are these, her studies of beautiful
women and their animal companions. Playful and flamboyant, exotic
and enigmatic, the women who inhabit these striking paintings embody a fascinating array of contradictions… and a hint of something
sinister lurks behind their eyes. They dwell in a fantastic world - a circus of color and impossibility - where nothing is quite as it seems.
