ARTIST Camilla has spent most of her life surrounded by the beautiful Somerset countryside from the rolling Quantock hills to the calm expanses of the Somerset levels; and her environment has always informed her paintings.
She gained a BA Honours degree in Art History followed by an Interior Design Diploma from Kingston University, and both these disciplines have fed into her deep understanding of colour, shape and the academics of painting construction.
She is a passionate full-time painter, with over 20 years experience, and works primarily in Oil and Acrylics.
A move to the dramatic South Hams coast in 2021 means the clarity of the coastal light and a completely different landscape has stimulated a new exciting phase where her paintings have become an expressive balance of abstract and figurative. The dynamic layers and flashes of colour create paintings full of coastal memories and atmosphere.
