Camille Boggs
Camille Miestchovich Boggs (born c. 1982 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an artist and designer.
Boggs grew up on the Gulf Coast and graduated from Ocean Springs High School in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. She completed her bachelor of arts in papermaking/book arts and sculpture in 2004 at the Memphis College of Art, including a semester in Italy. In 2005 she and her husband, Thaddeus, lost their home in Ocean Springs to Hurricane Katrina. They ended up settling in Argo where they founded their Two-Tailed Inspirations design company.
After the hurricane, Boggs' artistic output was suspended for a while. When she picked up her pencil, she turned toward fantastical images she might earlier have suppressed in the name of "serious" art. Inspired by the possibilities of imaginary worlds she began producing intricate layouts cut from paper and mounted in layers to form three-dimensional scenes.
Boggs work has been exhibited at Distinction Art in Escondido, California and is shown online at her website and through various fantasy art pages.
