Camille La Montagne

Camille LaMontagne is an artist from the Metro Detroit area. She graduated with honors from the College for Creative Studies, holding a
BFA in Fine Art. Her education is accompanied by knowledge from Macomb’s Media and Communications program, as well as a
mentorship by fellow artist Andrea Kowch in painting. She was chosen and participated in the 5th cycle of Red Bull House of Art Residency
in Detroit’s Eastern Market showcasing her oil paintings. In 2013 she was awarded by College for Creative Studies the title of “Emerging
Artist of the Year” for the annual alumni show.

Her paintings focus on the consideration of quiet and thoughtful moments that reach to discover and internalize identity and how the
relationship of nature helps us to pursue that discovery. With women often being the subject matter, she conveys a story about the
experience of being female.

Her work as a makeup artist has been published in Styleline Magazine, Ambassador, Editorial Magazine, OkGirl, Metro Times, Detroit
Metropolitan Magazine and Huffington Post and in advertisements and websites for the Peacock Room, Peter Says Denim, Glitz and Ears
