Camos has received awards from Faith House Women’s Shelter, Acadiana Arts Council

Camos’ works are in the permanent collections of Faith House Women’s Shelter,
Hospice of Acadiana and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital and have been collected
throughout the United States and abroad.
Statement:
The inspiration for my work is based on color and the impact it has on human emotions.
I use encaustic medium to explore the possibilities of color relationships. By reducing
the face or figure to the most simplistic shapes, I try to represent a “universal picture” of
man. I mean to suggest the connection we all have to each other through our life
experiences and the emotions elicited from these experiences. My interest in mixed
media work using oils/ encaustic, acrylic/paper arose from years of experimentation. The
spontaneity of the wax medium combined with the richness of the colors became a
primary force in the creation of my latest works.
