About Anna Valdez
The Californian-based artist Anna Valdez discovered her skill for art making on a trip far from home, an archeology excavation trip to Ireland. Here she was encouraged to keep a sketchbook, creating scale drawings and maps of the site. Through visually reinterpretations of these “abandoned sites” she explored the connection between anthropological and artist methods of cataloguing and record keeping. Working in mediums such as painting, drawing, printmaking, collages and digital media, Anna Valdez examines the relationship between material and cultural identity, using domestic objects such as plants, textiles, vessels and keepsakes as a method of storytelling.

Destination: Camp Wandawega

A few hours drive outside of Chicago, you will find Camp Wandawega, a unique place with a rich history. Originally built in 1925 at the height of the Prohibition Era, it was a safe haven for a cast of outlaws, criminals on the run and other interesting characters looking for liquor, prostitution and gambling. After its illicit adventures, the property was purchased by the Catholic Church and in the 1970’s it became a Latvian Church Camp for Catholic Latvians. In 2004 David and Tereasa, the new owners, purchased the grounds and they have been running Camp Wandawega since, providing a getaway from the city life and a return to other, simpler, times. Back in 2020, we hosted a Summer Camp, and now we are excited to return to enjoy the winter landscapes of Wandawega.
