About the Artist
Artist Camille Renga Dellar is a native of Santa Barbara, California. Growing up in the beautiful foothills that embrace this picturesque area helped develop her keen observation of landscape. When painting "en plein air," the true colors of nature and the atmosphere of the day inspire Camille-every day being unique. Striving for a sense of place in her paintings, her interpretation of the landscape also reflects the tranquility she experiences while painting. Primarily self-taught, Camille has had the opportunity to study under a variety of artists including, Ken Auster, Ovannes Berberian. Ted Goershner and Jove Wang.
