She started attending Children’s Art Classes when she was 8 years old and was a student here for 10 years. Camie’s portfolio consists of many acrylic paintings of polar bears, often accompanied by glitter. Another muse of hers is rats, because she has 5 pet rats of her own.

Her dream job was always to be an art teacher— so she’s grateful to be living her dream at the studio that sparked that aspiration.
