Camos’ work shifted from primarily acrylics to her current
images using encaustic and mixed media assemblages.
Her work is influenced by the lush landscapes of
Southwest Louisiana and the coastal plains.
“My images express the love that I have for this place we call home.
Everywhere you look there is something beautiful to behold, from the
rice and cane fields that surround us, to the marshlands of the
coast. I would like to
engage the viewer’s senses through the use of rich colors,
serene scenes and have them feel the connection that we all
have with nature.”

TINA TRAHAN
 Early
on as a child, Tina had a love of being creative and began drawing
and painting in her hometown of Elkhart, Indiana. Her family
moved to Lafayette, LA in the early 80's and this has been her home
ever since. She took many art classes while in school. As her
children were growing up she continues painting and taking classes.
She also entered various competitions and exhibitions. She took
private oil painting classes starting in 1994 with local art
instructors to have a better understanding of this medium. She was
trained in Faux Finishing techniques in Atlanta, GA and Baton Rouge,
LA. While the majority of her paintings are done in oils and
acrylics, she loves to mix different mediums to create something
unexpected.
Tina has painted commercial and residential
mural. Taught summer art classes for children, beginner adult
classes in "Alla Prima", and adult intermediate art classes.
Tina has participated in various art competitions, gallery
shows, exhibits, festivals, and the Home and Garden Women's Expo.
She paints many different subjects on a variety of surfaces. She is
a member of the Lafayette Art Association and the Crowley Art
Association.
 Art
has always brought Tina great joy!
