Zoe Rebecca Cameron
The "For My Sister” collection of 18 paintings took Zoe more than a year to complete. The subject matter came from long distance conversations Zoe had by phone with her younger sister Naomi.
As the older sibling Zoe often found herself trying to dispense words of love and wisdom. One night when the artist had been ill in bed with a migraine for several days the 18 titles came to her in one go.

The paintings have titles like “Don’t carry regrets from the past”, “Take care of your mind and body” and “Show respect and consideration for all living things”. Many of these paintings are quite small to create an intimacy when looking into them, encouraging us to reflect on our own adult wisdom and experience when looking at the perhaps less than informed characters in her compositions, rather like a single frame soap opera.

Zoe Cameron's imagery openly draws on her childhood, always loving but often confusing. With isolation amongst grown ups, she became an observer of others and her closeness with nature and animals grew. She developed into a shy child and adolescent who at school and local church loved religious studies for the imagery the moral tales prompted. Her grandmother was a great influence as a story teller, giving art books for Zoe to look at in bed “The Birth of Venus” by Botticelli and Hogarth's “Shrimp Girl” are among Zoe’s early memories.
