A Winter 2010 group exhibition at DBerman Gallery in Austin, TX, Chill, included two new works in the Extremities series. Wayne Alan Brenner in the Austin Chronicle describes: “Cynthia Camlin's delicate watercolor renditions of icebergs, the parts we always see and the parts normally occluded by icy brine, their myriad facets defining and redefining what we mean by the words ‘blue’ and ‘green’ and ‘shadow’ and ‘translucent.’”
