BEHIND THE PAINT

Cameron Cohen identifies as a Los Angeles native even though she was born in Tucson, Arizona.  Growing up in Santa Monica as a creative child in a creative home, Cameron was encouraged to spread her wings and take creative leaps.  She drew on everything in grade school and took painting and pottery classes in high school. 

The first half of her college career was in pursuit of biology but she soon found herself immersed in art classes of multiple mediums.  Graduating from UC Santa Barbara with a BA in Art Studio and an emphasis in painting, she then studied art history and live model figure painting in Florence, Italy at the Instituto Lorenzo de' Medici. 

After developing a successful jewelry line, Cameron then focused her attention to a career as a makeup artist.  Once two decades past, she turned in her makeup brushes for paint brushes.  As a full time artist, Cameron now paints in her studio in Los Angeles.  Cameron enjoys learning how to roller skate in hopes to be able to jam skate soon.
