Camille has always loved color and fiber.  Painting on silk and making art quilts bring together these loves in exciting and satisfying ways.  Painting in the abstract on silk requires flexibility, quick response and a thorough understanding of the dyes.  Dyes on silk produce a luminous quality that is unique in its immediacy and movement, its transparency and purity.  Quilting is a more structured and sequential process that  takes depth, complexity and texture through multiple layers of fabric, stitchery and hand quilting. Ultimately, painting on silk and quilting combine left- and right-brain activities in delightful ways.
