Cameron Schmitz is a professional oil painter whose intuitive abstract paintings are influenced by her background in landscape and figurative painting. Inspired by what emerges from the physical and emotive act of painting itself, Schmitz’s lyrical and energetic paintings are as much of a celebration of color and human expression as they are of life. Dashes of paint, gestural strokes, and rhythmic painterly marks become representative of human touch, movement, and the shifting of time. She states, “My painting is a metaphor of my perception of life, inspired by tender, human relationships in my life, and rooted in notions of touch, connectivity, love, and wonder that I experience as a woman, mother, and humble observer of the world. My pathway into abstraction stems from my background in both landscape and figurative painting—I remain fascinated by gesture and the almost-human aspects of nature, such as the way tree branches appear to lunge outward, as if yearning to connect and hold hands.
