More About Camille:
Camille is a neurodivergent artist living in Charlottesville, VA. While her Narcolepsy and ADHD present challenges to running a business (and doing all the normal things grown-ups are supposed to do), she prefers to think of these conditions as her artistic superpowers! Narcolepsey causes her to experience colorful hallucinations during the fuzzy state of awareness between wake and sleep, and ADHD allows her to hyper-focus on the creative process and turn these waking dreams into reality.
Growing up in the 80's & 90's influenced Camille's love of shapes, patterns, and color — especially rainbows.
Her creative practice, specifically time spent in Flow State, is essential to her well-being, and a key component of managing her chronic health conditions.
Camille is also the mom of two kiddos who keep her busy.
