Cameron is based in Los Angeles, and studied fiber arts with Ed Rossbach at UC Berkeley.
Her artwork is widely exhibited and has been published in American Craft, Fiberarts, Shuttle, Spindle and Dyepot and the Fiberarts Design Books Four, Five, Six and Seven . She travels Southern California and Arizona as the regional representative for several top yarn companies, including Rowan, Filatura de Crosa and Manos del Uruguay. An experienced teacher and facilitator, she conducts workshops throughout the country exploring design, color, creativity and the collaborative process.
Cameron Taylor-Brown was a founder of ACCESS Community Arts & Education, a consulting partnership that worked with classroom teachers and artists to make direct connections between the arts, curriculum, educational content standards and community arts experiences. Two accessARTS models, Start with Art and Arts in the City , were developed with the support of California State Charter School Grants. These classroom-tested models were disseminated throughout the state of California in 2004-5. accessARTS strategies remain central in Cameron’s approach to teaching and learning.

Lucy Arai’s sashiko pieces are a wonder to the eye. Learning the technique from her uncle, her innovative approaches combine her Japanese heritage and western art backgrounds.
