Camilla d’Errico: in her own words
“Moving away from the city was a big turning point in my life, marked by many losses, including my freedoms during the pandemic, my furbaby companion Loki, and a part of myself.” Explains Camilla d’Errico.
The losses left holes in their wake and the grief changed my perspective. The healing process that followed, I would describe as ‘nurtured by nature,’ because I reconnected with the incredible world around me, up in the Pacific Northwest.
“Moving out of the city and into this community mindset struck me in an unexpected and fulfilling way. It highlighted how disconnected and restricted our lives can become when we’re isolated from the natural world. With this new collection, I’m bringing the great outdoors inside to celebrate its beauty, which I feel lucky to experience daily in my own backyard. We only have one world to share, I want viewers to appreciate and cherish everything we have. To connect to it, protect it, and leave our natural world in a more nurtured state than how we found it.”
