Camilla Teodoro

Artist member since 2022

Hello! My name is Camilla Teodoro and I am a Filipina-born illustrator based in Toronto, Ontario. My art is often based on observations and little delights found in my environment—which is a central theme of my illustrations as they often include playful characters who interact with their surroundings. My aim when I draw these characters is to transport viewers to a place that captures the joy and sometimes the mischievous parts of childhood. My biggest inspirations include old children's toys, odd knick-knacks found in thrift stores, and the natural world.

Q+A

When I'm not making art, I'm (a) ...

joyfully cycling around the countryside.

Which piece of art you've created is your favourite, and why?

The Dolls Are Alive At Midnight is my favourite piece because it is based on one of my favourite Twilight Zone episode about a talking doll name Tina. Dolls have the reputation of being very creepy or cute; I wanted to capture both of these feelings in this piece.
