Faridah Cameron is an Australian visual artist.
Originally from Melbourne, her work has evolved from her experiences in
many different cultural environments in Australia and overseas.
Her work with international theatre director Neil
Cameron led to the co-founding of a visual theatre company in
Queensland in 1993. As artistic director and principal artist she
oversaw the design and creation of stunning large-scale imagery
for dozens of events across Australia.
Faridah has lectured and conducted workshops in
fine arts and creativity in schools, universities and
community settings across Australia.
In 2002 Faridah altered the focus of her work to
full time studio practice. In her paintings,
she explores through abstraction the complexities and implications of
our relationship to the natural environment. Her imagery is underpinned
by a longstanding interest in mythology and cultural interpretation.
After completing her Master
of Fine Art degree she relocated her practice to Hobart, in 2004.
