Cameron Frederick Sands

I was born 1974 and raised in Texas. In 1997, I began experimenting with painting after a summer job at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. In 2000, I began assisting family and friends at the Sicardi Gallery. After enrolling in art classes at the community college, I studied painting at University of Houston. The experience in formal art studio classes was wonderful, as well as teaching in secondary school for 14 years. I consider a self-taught foundation to be the strength in driving my choices. I often work with a mixture of materials, but painting is still my foundation.

I have had the opportunity to exhibit work in various solo and group shows, as well as collaborate with dance and theatre productions. My work is part of private and public collections in Texas and around the United States. Teaching programs at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Maine College of Art were important to my development. I am represented by Blue Print Gallery in Dallas, TX. As I begin the next phase of my career and studio practice, I look forward to more projects that challenge me and help my growth as an artist.
