Cam Villar is an artist, designer and creator living north of Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout his life Cam has worked in many mediums including pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, oil, acrylic, collage, sculpture, photography, video, and digital art. He studied architecture and mechanical drafting, and has worked professionally as a graphic designer, art director, creative + marketing director, and creative executive. He has exhibited in both the U.S. and internationally.

An aspiring artist at a very young age, Cam loved drawing and comic books, and developed an appreciation for the styles of individual illustrators and inkers. He began to notice the art direction and graphic design standards of different comics and magazine publishers. This was the beginning of his lifelong appreciation for good art direction and design, and how they impact the final product.

As a teen in the 70s, music was influential, and Cam was captivated not just by the great sounds of his era but also by creative album cover art. His drawing style became more graphic and stylized, and he began drawing on larger art boards.

Cam enrolled in the fine arts program at Pensacola State College, and started painting and graphic design under the instruction of artist Carl Duke and artist/poet Alan Peterson.

Up to this point, abstract and modern art never got Cam's attention, but a chance trip to Washington D.C. at the age of 22 changed his outlook dramatically. He visited the East Wing of the National Gallery, as well as the Hirshhorn, and Corcoran Gallery of Art, where he saw seminal works by Kline, Gottlieb, Kandinsky and many more. These and other firsthand viewings were instrumental in opening up Cam's understanding and appreciation of the different modes of expression that constitute abstract art.

After a long and successful career, Cam has been able to focus much of his energy on creating art. Today, Cam continues to explore and create his own personal artistic expressions.
