About the artist:

Camille Fox was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and currently lives in Sydney, Australia. She paints with oils in the layering and glazing style of the Old Masters, using the finest cotton canvas and richest pigment paints. For the past few years, her passion has been painting the Egypt of yesteryear... the Egypt of her roots, depicting a Cosmopolitan Era which no longer exists. She also likes to paint in gouache on Archival paper.

She likes to think of herself as a storyteller, conceiving stories in her mind from memories of a bygone era, or as a colourful fantasy set in the present day. She brings these stories to life in her studio. Starting there as drawings, she concentrates on composition, shapes, and relationships between her characters. These drawings find their way on to the canvas as a joyous, enchanted journey of vibrant colours and humorous whimsical narrative.
