About the Creator
My name is Eva Camacho-Sanchez, and although I was born and raised in Andalucia, Spain, I have spent most of my adult life in the eastern part of the United States. Most of my felting career has been dedicated to creating nuno felted garments. Over four years I went to many art shows, where I sold my work, and many pieces were also sold in galleries, boutiques and museum stores.Although I am devoted to felt, I have also been intrigued by other fibers and fabrics. I have been including other materials such as paper into my work because, through my own experimentation, I learned I was able to make a very durable material by felting mulberry paper into the wool. Through my work I also hope to raise awareness of the problems of climate change, while highlighting solutions we can embrace to mitigate the threats and adapt to new environmental realities.
