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 Batanides is the owner & founder of ArtByCammeron LLC, 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. Appointed President of Veterans Creative Arts Program (VCAP) in 2024 by VFW Post 12196 Leland, Batanides partnered with the City of Wilmington to create programming from scratch for the newly formed nonprofit. Batanides is an art educator, and in 2024, through partnerships, collaborations, and contracts, taught over 354 art classes at over 7 locations in New Hanover and Brunswick Counties. 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 worldwide selected for a group exhibit sponsored by CBS at the 2013 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, in conjunction with the 2013 French Quarter Festival. During the same period, she was invited to California for a solo exhibition at the legendary Los Angeles Fine Arts Building. She was the first live painter for The Wailers, on the USS North Carolina battleship, and at Wilmington’s historic Thalian Hall’s inaugural reggae show. Locally, she has been commissioned to paint over 10 public and private murals in the Wilmington and Leland areas, 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, and her unique laugh. She spreads love and joy through art, and empowers those around her in the process.
