Camilla has worked in the arts industry for nearly 20 years, managing private art collections and contemporary art galleries in London. She went on to become an experienced independent contemporary art curator dedicated to championing leading emerging artistic talent in the UK and internationally. 

Hypha Studios was born when Camilla wanted to curate exhibitions in non-gallery contexts, aware of how many interesting spaces were available but empty. As a sole practitioner, she found it hard to engage landlords, but by setting up a charity that offers “quality control” of both the art and use of the space, she was able to bring together emerging artists, councils, property owners and cultural institutions in mutually beneficial collaborations.
