DE CAMILLE
A native Angeleno, De Camille
attended the Lycee Francais at age six and went on to study art and fashion at
the Paris American Academy and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris where she had
a one-woman sell-out show in Montmartre. The world of the French Cabaret has
continued to inspire her work. There is
a sense of the collector and traveler in her work having lived abroad for five
years. From the Caribbean islands of
Montserrat and Grenada to Paris and Bath UK, she takes from the past to update
it through her unique and quirky lens. A strong theme in her work is the iconic
female form. For ten thousand years we
have been haunted and inspired by the dazzling mother/ goddess/ temptress/ angel.
Her work is a synthesis of Pop Culture through a dream-like state; her
technique is layered. It may start with
the collaging of a Blue Print and images to set the scene or create the
impressions for the structure of the work.
She experiments with various mediums to create altered states of texture
such as; saw dust, paint medium; egg yolk; tea bags; paper; found objects.
Presently she is living and
painting in Happy Valley, Oregon, a bucolic town just outside of Portland with
her young family.
