Welcome CAM Studio Guest Artist

Vanessa Wallace - Gonzales

Picture

Vanessa Wallace-Gonzales uses elements of mythology to explore her identity and personal experiences. She began this exploration during her attendance at the Maryland Institute College of Art and carried it on in exhibitions in Ventura and Los Angeles, California, New York City, Baltimore, Maryland, and Florence, Italy. Vanessa Wallace-Gonzales is attracted to mythology because it rides the line of reality and fantasy to tell the story of a people. During her CAM Studioship she intends to build an environment that the audience can step into and feel transported to this other mythical realm where other beings once existed.  The artist wishes to create for viewer a sensation of discovering relics and dissolve the line between reality and fantasy.
