Camille’s work has for decades evoked global interest in Kenya’s influential conservation philosophy. With her unique majestic style and brushstrokes, she embraces us calmly to a world where we all belong and ought to aspire to be. I am one of the privileged who live with her work on a daily basis and that is an honor

Most artists are spectators of the beauty of nature but Camille approaches it from an entirely different angle. It is her passion for nature that guides every choice she makes for her life and it is from this passion that her paintings naturally evolve – Full of love, respect, awe and beauty – Like Camille

Camille’s paintings surprise and delight with their devoted attention to detail. One can spend wondrous hours drinking in the unique and disciplined renderings that deliver her subjects. For years she has spent time dissecting and re-capturing images of her home country, Kenya, with colours and brush strokes that can only emanate from a place of abiding love.
