Camille
Przewodek is a plein air painter whose light-filled landscapes are alive with
vibrant color. Her works are distinctive for their rich saturation of hues and
for luscious oil paint. She is committed to capturing the hidden colors of
nature and the nuances of changing light. “I paint light, that’s what I do.
When people say they like a painting that has bright colors in it, they
obviously like sunny days. For others the appeal is found in the cooler colors
of gray days.”
Following
training at Wayne State University where she earned a BA in Fine Art and
illustration training at the Academy of Art college in San Francisco she worked
for many years as a highly successful illustrator with clients such as Alfa
Romeo, Chevron and the Los Angeles Times Magazine. But
it was at the Cape (Cod) School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts that she
found her greatest inspiration where she studied with Henry
Hensche learning to see color by observing and painting, not through theory. She
is a co-founder of the Pacific Academy of Fine Arts, and a signature member of
the Laguna Plein-Air Painters Association. She has exhibited widely in
one-person and group exhibits, continues to teach painting workshops and has
received numerous awards including First Place Painting in the 2000 Sausalito
Art Festival.
