On Wednesday, January 8th, Camilla and Jason, two wonderful and generous friends, lost their home and all of their belongings to the Eaton wildfire in Altadena, CA. They were only able to save their cats and a few belongings.

Camilla Taylor is a talented artist, printmaker, and sculptor. She lost all the tools of her art-making when her home studio burned down, such as her kiln and her printing press. She also lost all her artworks, archives, and materials.

This fundraiser is organized by Nova Jiang (a friend and fellow artist from Los Angeles). Like many in our community, I have received help and care from Camilla and Jason in times of hardship. The home they lost to the fire was always a welcoming space to friends in need.

Your generous support will help Camilla and Jason forge a new path forward. They face many challenges while being overwhelmed by the loss of their home and neighborhood. Your donation will also help Camilla start making art again.

(I am Nova Jiang, an artist who also lives in Los Angeles. I have been close friends with Camilla and Jason since 2017 after I met Camilla in a printmaking class she taught.)
