Camille K. Tillinghast
renders the Florida panther in a manner that captures its
essential postures and actions. Her mission is to portray
its many-sided character, whether it be in rest, playing
with a seed pod or running for sheer joy. She brings its
highly intelligent, emotional and intuitive spirit to her
canvases.
The graceful movements and brilliant colors of the wide
variety of bird life in South Florida are another source
of inspiration, and she uses them as a focal point to reflect
the fascinating landscape of the Florida Everglades.
Tillinghast's journey began as a student
of oil painting and art history at the University of Cincinnati
and the Art Academy of Cincinnati where she earned her certificate
of fine arts, majoring in painting. She continued her studies
at the prestigious Leo Marchutz School of Painting and Drawing
in France. Her alkyd painting titled "Grace at Work"
was recently selected for the renowned exhibition "Birds
in Arts" at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum in Wausau,
Wisconsin.
