A little background
Cameron York is a Southern California native who began her printmaking journey in her childhood bedroom, carving linoleum blocks and printing them on whatever surface she could get her hands on. In high school she interned at a local letterpress print shop where endless hours of sorting type helped solidify her passion for printmaking. Cameron then went on to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Art in printmaking at Sonoma State University. She began studying copper plate etching and was forever changed. She rode the copper wave to the University of Iowa where she received a Master of Arts as well as a Master of Fine Arts in printmaking with a secondary emphasis in sculpture.
Cameron has exhibited nationally and internationally at venues such as the International Print Center New York, the Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition in Illinois, and Guardino Gallery in Portland, Oregon. She has also participated in artist residencies nationally and internationally such as The Vermont Studio Center in Vermont, Cow House Studios in Ireland, and In Cahoots in California. Cameron currently lives in Oregon where she maintains a studio practice and continues to be surprised by the endless possibilities of intaglio printing.
