Cammeron Batanides
When you see Art By Cammeron behind her easel, palette and paintbrush in rhythm with the performance, you know you have found the painter. With a focus on community, she brings events to life on canvas, sharing and spreading love through art. Using rich, vibrant colors, her work elevates the art of painting to a level of inclusivity and unity.
A native of Charlotte currently living in Wilmington, N.C., Cammeron is an internationally known fine artist and children’s book author/illustrator. Predominantly working in acrylic and watercolor, her works have been featured across the United States, in Jamaica and throughout Canada. She is also an art educator and is currently a teaching artist at DREAMS Center for Arts Education. When she is not performing live or teaching, Cammeron spends most of her time painting in her art studio, completing commissions and studio works.
One of 14 artists in the world chosen for a group exhibit sponsored by CBS at the 2013 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in conjunction with the 2013 French Quarter Festival, Cammeron was also invited to California during that same period for a solo exhibition of her work at the legendary Los Angeles Fine Arts Building. She was the first live painter for The Wailers, the first live painting performance artist on the USS North Carolina battleship and at Wilmington’s historic Thalian Hall’s inaugural reggae show. Locally, she has been commissioned to paint multiple public and private murals in the downtown Wilmington and Leland area, painted live at the installation of UNCW’s Chancellor, Jose V. Sartarelli, and receives consistent requests for individual commissions.
Cammeron Batanides is a living example of her art and writing. Her colorful personality, her love for music, her unique laugh, and her desire to spread joy and love through art is contagious and empowering. She invites you to come out to her next live painting performance, to not only meet the painter but be with the painter.
