Artist Bio
Rita Cameron received a masters in art from Morehead State University in 1994, and she has created original oil paintings from her artist studio in Louisville, Kentucky, since 1995. Artistically, her concentration is in creating original acrylic or oil paintings, with mixed media. Her work has evolved from rural landscapes to abstraction over the years. Nature still influences her work; however, the overlaying of color transparencies is her main focus. Simply stated, she creates abstract art focused on color relations and their contrasts. An inspiration to creating abstract artwork, for her, is a desire to explore aspects of color theory and composition. She also relies on the audible and emotional influences music contributes to each piece, guiding the activity of line and movement within the oil painting.
