Camille holds a college diploma in graphic design and a bachelor’s degree in visual arts and media from Laval University. Camille’s artistic approach is focused on nature, memories, and the stories that emanate from them. Nature, animals, and humans have always been at the center of her artistic practice. She creates fluid and vaporous spaces where dream and reality coexist, inspired by the landscapes that surround us. The mix of colors and material that she offers plunges us into different atmospheres, delivered by flora, and marked by movement and time. The fictitious landscapes illustrated in her art tell stories that will awaken unique memories in those who observe them. The artist’s work rhymes with the nomadic lifestyle and will take you on a journey within the image itself.

La démarche artistique de Camille est axée sur la nature, les souvenirs et les histoires qui en émanent. La nature, l’animal et l’humain ont toujours été au centre de sa pratique artistique. Elle s’inspire des paysages qui nous entourent en créant des espaces fluides et vaporeux où cohabitent le rêve et la réalité. Les mélanges de couleurs et de matières qu’elle propose nous plongent dans différentes atmosphères livrées par la flore, marquées par le mouvement et le temps. Les paysages fictifs illustrés dans ses oeuvres racontent des histoires qui réveilleront des souvenirs uniques chez celui ou celle qui les observe. Les oeuvres de l’artiste riment avec le mode de vie nomade et vous feront voyager à l’intérieur même de l’image.
