BIO
Camille Modesto is a Filipino-born interdisciplinary artist. Migration and longing are constant themes in her paintings, sculptures, installations, and videos. She explores her history of migration together with the colonial and imperial history between the Philippines and the United States to bridge the past and present realities of the two countries. Using photographs and objects from home, she infuses them with collective meaning, bridging the personal to the shared experiences of migration and nostalgia.
Modesto received her BFA from the University of North Florida and her MFA in studio art from Florida State University. She was awarded the Adelaide D. Wilson Graduate Fellowship Endowment Fund in 2021. She has exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Working Method Gallery, and WJB Gallery in Tallahassee, FL, Avenue 50 Studio in Highland Park, CA, University of Florida Health, CoRK Arts District, University of North Florida Gallery of Art, and Jacksonville Public Library in Jacksonville, FL.
