Near Shore I

Camilla lives in Somerset and works from her converted cider house studio. She is surrounded by the beauty of the Quantock hills and her real interest is capturing the interplay of light and landscape in her paintings.

“My love of art started with a degree in Art and Architecture at Canterbury University which led to a career in commercial interior design. During the years of bringing up two daughters I became a passionate painter and I combine all my experience of art history, design and colour to capture the ever changing landscape. Cornwall has been a special place on my journey as an artist with many happy hours spent sketching and painting along the beautiful coastline.

I mostly paint in oils and often use beeswax mixed with my paint to create a rich quality and translucency that enhances my use of subtle yet rich colours. The use of multiple layers allows me to create interest and atmosphere with a glorious mix of colour and texture.”
