Camille Maloisel-Granel was born in 1954 and brought up in Toulouse and southwest France.

As a child she was very intrigued by her paternal grandmother’s painting techniques, which certainly influenced her to choose art as a career.

In 1971 she went to study art in Paris at the Ecole Nationale des Arts

Camille has always been inspired by journeys and multicultural experiences the flow of her work portrays this. Over the following 5 years she travelled to India, Africa, Italy, Greece, Spain, Mexico where she discovered the Muralistes-Diego Rivera. This ethnic experience of colourful journeys continued to develop and guide her artwork. Multi ethnic symbols and graphic patterns plus her flair for “interior design” can be recognised in most of her artwork. An illustration of this was her first art exhibition, which took place in 1984 in Cancun.

The following year she spent in Los Angeles, which added a new dimension to her work.

Returning to Paris Camille continued to develop her artwork and painting techniques.
She embarked on a new venture in the psychiatric sector, teaching art and techniques to carers who then are trained to deliver art workshops to mental health patients.
She continued to organise a series of exhibitions in the Paris area and works with the urban art group Une Nuit. Following one of these at the Polynesian Delegation in Paris the delegation staff were so enthusiastic about her work on the theme of their home country that they purchased one of the exhibits.
Another of her unusual strands of work in Paris was the development of special techniques so the visually impaired could enjoy and feel art at a very successful exhibition at the Mairie du 7e  and Palais des Congrés in 1996 and 1997.

In 2000 a « carte blanche » commission of 5 paintings for FRE (a wine distribution company) took her back to southwest France where she decided to continue her work and Camille settled with her family in Toulouse in 2001.
Currently Camille has added digital photography to her portfolio.
Her fascination for graphic artwork involves her in a joint project with l’ATLAS an urban calligraphic artist.
Recent residential art workshops at St Henri, Aude France have given her scope and innovation to a new and more graphic artwork. sainthenri@hotmail.com
