about

MaryAnn Camps is a Montreal-born, Vancouver- and Ottawa-based visual artist. Following a career as a graphic designer, she began painting full time in 2005. Since 2016, her practice has had a photo-based focus. 

Camps is interested in urbanism, transitional spaces, and change.

She asks: how do our cities affect how we think, feel, and behave? Exploring the interplay between people and urban space, she aims to infuse her work with a sense of transience and ambiguity. People and cities are in continual states of flux.

A synesthete, her influences include painters Pierre Soulages, Gerhard Richter, Otto Donald Rogers; photographer/painter László Moholy-Nagy; photographers André Kertész, Saul Leiter, Josef Sudek, Frederick H. Evans, Fred Herzog; and composers/musicians Nils Frahm, Medeski Martin and Wood, Radiohead, Brian Eno, John Coltrane, Erik Satie and Philip Glass.

Her work is held in private collections in Canada, the U.S., Europe, and South America.
