Your Host - Camille Day
Camille Day, Artist Bio
Camille Day, known as Candy to friends and family, is an artist from North Georgia, committed to capturing the people and places that inspire her imagination through painting. Her desire to expand her painting ability and her emergence as a full-time artist has led Camille to Europe as well as many places in the U. S. where she enjoys painting en plein air as well as in her studio. She is continuously inspired by the varied landscapes of the natural world, its people, animals and common places where beauty is sometimes overlooked.
Although she is largely self-taught and has been painting and drawing since childhood, Camille has had the benefit of studying under such great artists as Ann Templeton, Alan Flattmann, Thomas Nash, Quang Ho, Jim Richards, Lori Putnam and many others. As she tells of these experiences, “Each session with such wonderful instructors enables me to reach further into the well of my own abilities and translate not only what I see as beautiful to the viewer, but to make them feel why I chose that subject to paint.”
Camille has a new studio in her hometown of Ellijay, Georgia. She earned Signature Member status from the Southeastern Pastel Society, and the is a member of Oil Painters of America, the American Impressionist Society, the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society and the Southern Appalachian Artist Guild, where she is a Signature Member and past President. In 2015 she served as the Women Painters of the Southeast awards judge, as well as the juror for two other Georgia shows. Most recently, she was named a new member of the Plein Air Painters of the Southeast.
Camille Day has won numerous awards and her work has been juried into many national and international shows, many of which are now in private collection. The artwork of M. Camille Day can be viewed online at www.studiocamille.com, by appointment at her studio, Ellijay, GA, the Blue Ridge Mountains Art Association, Blue Ridge GA, the gallery and playhouse at Gilmer Arts, Ellijay GA and at Chateau Meichtry, in Talking Rock GA.
