I have exciting news to share. My daughter, Rose, is also an artist (BFA University of Nebraska at Omaha), and we will be having a mother/daughter botanical art exhibit at Lauritzen Gardens in October of 2025! I am thrilled that we will have a chance to exhibit together. She is incredibly talented (yes, proud mama!) and I can't wait to see her newest drawings exhibited.
Stay tuned for more details. I will share them as we get closer to the date of the show. I'll also be sharing some of my work on my free substack newsletter page, so you can see my progress toward the exhibit at camillewerther.substack.com
Also, I thought I'd mention that for the second time, I got an honorable mention in the Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine's Mysterious Photograph Contest. This is such a fun assignment: they give you a picture, and you have to craft a 250-word micro-mystery out of it. I was introduced to flash nonfiction writing in a travel writing class that I took at the University of Nebraska at Omaha a few years ago, and I love the utter challenge of trying to squeeze a whole story into that small container. I also took a micro nonfiction writing with Darien Gee at writer-ish.com online, and she is a great teacher. Anyhow, the concepts of distillation and compaction work for fiction and mystery, too, and so I am thrilled to get an honorable mention again. When I was little, I made my friends play Nancy Drew with me, so I suppose coming up with mysteries has always been a thrill.
Thank you for reading!
