Paul writes, “Zoe Cameron is a British figurative painter, who lives and works in Cornwall. Her imagery carries within it a very personal narrative. In her paintings she binds fragments from different worlds to transform her thoughts and visions into a reality. As an artist for more than 4 decades, her visual language has evolved, but her choice of subject matter, women, childhood, angels and animals, remain at the heart of her work. She says, “As a solitary child I had plenty of time to use my imagination and found I had strong bonds with nature and animals.”

As well as being an undeniably super talented artist, Zoe has a very gentle, kind and generous personality. She has been a great friend for many years. I discovered her paintings by accident in a local magazine and fell in love with her unique and charming style. A very accomplished artist indeed whose paintings have a deeper meaning than first meets the eye and often carry a message. We ended up collaborating on a filming project where she painted my portrait, the unveiling of which took place at the Lander Gallery in Truro.

Zoe moved permanently to Cornwall in 1987 and rented a Studio at Porthleven, where she painted and ran Easter and Summer Courses. Zoe has had various teaching roles including at Falmouth College of Art and Design, Truro College and Cornwall College. She lives and works on the Lizard Peninsula.
