She was a Visiting Scholar at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington D.C. with the assistance of the Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Young and Emerging Artist Fellowship. 

Her projects have been exhibited internationally, including the Museum of Brisbane, Alaska Projects and Fringe Arts Bath in the United Kingdom. Camille’s work has been widely covered in the media, including visual art magazines, newspapers, radio, and television. Her work has appeared in publications such as Runway in Australia and Creative Non Fiction in the USA. 

Camille has participated in residency programs with Bundanon Trust and Parramatta Artist Studios in Australia, as well as the Kings School and In A Space in the UK. Her works are held in private and public collections internationally.

Since the summer of 2023, Camille has been a key partner in a project addressing the chronic under-recruitment of Black donors in stem cell banks. This project is led by GSEJ founding member Dr. Jill Shepherd in collaboration with Professor Joy Zhang and Dr. Rebecca Cassidy.
