BIO:

Cameron Bliss creates images of people real and imagined and somewhere in between. Her subjects are mesmerizing, moody and deeply evocative. Cameron received her degree from the Savannah College of Art and design. Her work hangs in private collections in Australia, Mexico, several countries in Europe, as well as in the United States. She lives and paints in Winterville, near Athens, Georgia, where she serves on the Winterville Arts Council.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

If you were to step into one of my paintings, you might feel as though you suddenly interrupted a deeply intimate exchange. A painter of authentic souls suspended in their mundane realness; I capture moments of timeless suspense. My desire is that the viewer asks this question of my subjects, "What are you thinking? What are you hopeful for in your heart, your mind, and your soul?"
