Camilla
Dowse

Camilla uses a refined palette of soft colours to create quiet and contemplative urban landscapes, removing contemporaneous distraction and allowing us to see — often for the first time — the beauty of the built environment.She mixes her own gesso, because the surface and the textures it helps create is as important to her as the paint she applies to it.In 2014 Camilla won Artist of the Year in Artists & Illustrators Magazine, followed in 2015 by a solo exhibition of new work presented by the Jonathan Cooper Gallery in London. She won the Chairman’s Prize at the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition in 2017, and the Neil Meacher RI Award for an Outstanding Watercolour at the 206th annual exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 2018.Camilla lives and works in South Oxfordshire, England.www.camilladowse.co.uk
