| The daughter of an artist and a piano teacher,
Camille was raised in a very creative world. Her early experiences
of living in countries including Fiji, Malta, England, and
Bali helped shape her bold use of colour while inspiring
her often used tropical motifs. Specializing in decorative
earthenware ceramics using underglazes, and ceramic sculptures
fired using the raku technique, she’s recently begun exploring
batik design, spending several months in Bali creating a
series of dynamic pieces which are wearable as well as decorative. |

She graduated with honours in fine arts from
Griffith University in Queensland, going on to major in ceramics
at RMIT in Victoria where she received her Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree in 1997. After working as a pottery teacher,
where she taught students from age 3 to 80, and directing
an annual Children’s Art Carnival, she began devoting full
time to her art. She’s exhibited in Melbourne, Queensland,
and on Phillip Island and has been written up in Country
Style, the Phillip Island Newspaper, and the South
Gippsland Sentinel Times as well as being featured on
Foxtel TV. |
