I think for an artist and a creative, everyone could be creative if you just let yourself go a little bit and get into the uncomfortable. You have to learn something new. It's just a matter of honing your skill, your time, investing in something, but know at the beginning, you might not make great things.
Imagine blending the worlds of art and conservation into one vibrant tapestry. That's exactly what French-Canadian artist Camille Myles does. In this episode of 'Born to Create', host Maria-Katharina Richters sits down with Camille to uncover the fascinating intersections of her work. Camille, known for her multidisciplinary approach, delves into her artistic journey that spans public art, painting, sculpture, and installation.
But it's not just about the mediums she uses; it's about the stories she tells—stories of community, nature, and self-reflection. Camille's background is as rich as her artwork. With a BFA in Sculpture & Installation and an MA in Heritage Conservation, she has worked everywhere from archaeological sites to national art galleries. Her experiences as a Park Superintendent at Parks Canada add another layer to her conservation activism.
In this episode, she talks about how these diverse roles have influenced her art, making it a medium for both personal and environmental storytelling. One highlight of the conversation is Camille's recent projects like 'Crying Landscapes' and 'I Stand Alone'. These works are not just visually striking but also carry deep messages about our impact on the environment. Camille's dedication to pushing boundaries and experimenting with new forms of expression is evident as she shares her upcoming projects and collaborations.
For anyone interested in how creativity can serve as a powerful tool for change, this episode is a must-listen. Camille's story is a testament to the transformative power of art and its ability to spark meaningful conversations. Whether you're an artist yourself or someone who appreciates the beauty of creative expression, you'll find inspiration in Camille's journey.
