In 2017 Cam retired from a 32-year career in the golf industry to become a full-time professional artist. Prior to this, he spent 8 years as an architectural draftsman. Since 1976 he has been drawing and creating art, and his first solo show was in 1988.
In 2005 he met a group of artists who shared the same love of outdoor landscape painting and they began to travel together to paint, and having private shows of their work. The group is known as “The Men Who Paint”. They have had the great fortune of painting in many pristine and remote areas of Canada and abroad.
His work is primarily focused on landscapes created in oils based on En Plein air studies. Spectacular captivating larger works are created in his backyard studio. Cam’s paintings are centered around strong design, shapes, and bold colours expressing the grand and impressive landscapes of Canada and beyond.
He has participated in over 50 solo and group shows in Canada and abroad. His artwork is held in private, corporate and museum collections including The Kunst Museum Schwaan Germany, The Mann Gallery, and the Parks Canada Permanent Collections.
