The legacy of embroidery, Elaine Balla’s Camden Show artwork

Elaine Balla, an accomplished embroidery artist, created 'The Camden Show' for the 2011 Camden Show's 125th anniversary, winning a Champion Exhibit Ribbon. Her work, now displayed at the Camden Museum, vividly represents community stories. Balla's contributions span sixty years, illustrating women's expression through the art of embroidery, their agency and telling community stories.
