Camilla Dowse

Working in acrylic or oil, her impressionistic urban landscapes explore the beauty of the built environment. Camilla studied graphic design and for a number of years alongside her art practice, worked as a picture editor for many of the major book publishers.

Her work has been selected for exhibition by the New English Art Club, the Bath Art Society, the Sunday Times Watercolour Exhibition, the Society of Women Artists and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

In 2014 she was named Artist of the Year (first prize) by Artists & Illustrators Magazine. She was awarded the Chairman’s Prize at the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition in 2017 and again in 2018. She was presented with the Neil Meacher RI Award for an ‘outstanding watercolour’ by the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 2018. And in 2019 she won the painting and mixed media prize at the Visual Art Open.
