Camille Rose Garcia was born to a Mexican activist filmmaker father and a muralist painter mother. At the age of 14, she began apprenticing with her mother on murals while growing up in the suburban landscape of Orange County, where visits to Disneyland and punk shows shaped her formative experiences alongside other disenchanted youth.

Garcia’s work features layered, fractured narrative paintings that evoke wasteland fairy tales, drawing inspiration from William Burroughs’ cut-up writings, surrealist cinema, and vintage Disney and Fleischer cartoons. Her art serves as a critical commentary on the failures of capitalist utopias, merging nostalgic pop culture elements with a satirical perspective on modern society.

Her pieces have been exhibited internationally and featured in numerous publications, including Juxtapoz, Rolling Stone, and Modern Painter. Garcia’s work is part of prestigious collections at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Resnick Collection, and the San Jose Museum of Art, which held a retrospective titled Tragic Kingdom, accompanied by a catalog of the same name.

Her book, The Illustrated Alice in Wonderland (published by Harper Collins), became a New York Times Bestseller. She is set to release her next book, The Cabinet of Dr. Deekay, a surrealist work that she both wrote and illustrated, in the fall of 2019 through Sympathetic Press. Currently, Garcia resides in the woods of the Pacific Northwest.
