✦ Artist Biography ✦
Camille Bryant was born in Redondo Beach, California and studied Fine Art with an emphasis in painting and sculpture at San Francisco State University, graduating Cum Laude in 2012. At San Francisco State University she won both the 24th and 25th annual Stillwell Exhibition Best in Sculpture Award. Nearing graduation from college, she soon founded The Loft, an artist work space in South San Francisco. Camille worked and showed in this studio space until moving into an artist live/work warehouse on a pier in San Francisco. Following her passions for art and education, she moved to Long Beach, CA where she expanded her art practice through education, earning her teaching credentials in 2018.
Camille is now based in Grass Valley, California with her son. She immerses herself in the vibrant art culture of Nevada County, running an art practice under her label Make Good Studio. Best known for her vibrant abstract colors and cylindrical shapes, she is a painter, digital artist, and sculptor. Camille’s current body of work is a series of painted self portraits where her figure is encompassed by a world of abstract shapes and colors. These works document the mental change and growth the artist experienced since being diagnosed with epilepsy in November of 2020.
