b. 1991 in Redwood City, CA
Camille Roos is a multimedia artist and educator working across painting and installation to examine relationships among body, place, and the animate world. Drawing from ecological practice, somatic inquiry, and ritual traditions, her work moves between sensory perception and social engagement. Her paintings and installations function as sensory thresholds, inviting an instinctual mode of seeing.
Roos is a Resident Faculty Visual Artist at CATA (Community Access to the Arts) where she teaches artists with disabilities across the Berkshires and Columbia County, NY.
