Faridah Cameron is an Australian visual artist. Originally from Melbourne, her work has evolved from her experiences in many different cultural environments in Australia and overseas.

Her work with international theatre director Neil Cameron led to the co-founding of a visual theatre company in Queensland in 1993. As artistic director and principal artist she oversaw the design and creation of stunning large-scale imagery for dozens of events across Australia.

Faridah has lectured and conducted workshops in fine arts and creativity in schools, universities and community settings across Australia.

In 2002 Faridah altered the focus of her work to full time studio practice. In her paintings, she explores the complexities and implications of our relationship to the natural environment. Her imagery is underpinned by a longstanding interest in mythology and cultural interpretation.

After completing her Master of Fine Art degree she relocated her practice to Hobart, in 2004. She has been a finalist in the Glover Prize (2010), Togart Award (2009), Archangel Prize (2009), Sovereign Asian Art Prize (2005) and the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize (2005).
