Fans and collectors have found engaging with Cameron online adds to their art buying experience. Often work will sell as she shares it in progress on Facebook and her .99 eBay auctions always draw attention.

Currently she is showing work as part of DANK, a collective of which she is a founding member, located in the Miners Foundry Cultural Center in Nevada City. Her current eBay auction of “Goldie Bear” is on display there and is a fundraiser for The Foundry.
