Cathy Camper



Camper has been entering work in the Minnesota State Fair's Crop Art show since 1989. Starting with her portrait of Haile Selassie I, her work has opened a new avenue for Crop Art at the State Fair: political commentary.



Cathy was profiled in an online food show about people, food and sustainable living called "Cooking Up A Story" (cookingupastory.com)
