Cameilia Grace Edwards is an emerging artist based in a small NSW regional town, she paints from a shared studio space in town with a large street-facing window, offering the community a glimpse into her process and a quiet connection to her evolving work. Over the past five years, she has been transitioning from commission-based work to developing her own personal style, rooted in light, memory, and stillness. Cameilia has recently been awarded Grand Champion at the 2025 Inverell Art Prize. She has been selected as a finalist in the 2025 Little Things Art Prize, 2024 National Emerging Art Prize and 2023 Lethbridge Small Scale Art Prize, and has received acquisition prizes in the Inverell Art Prize (2020, 2023 and 2025). Cameilia has recently had success with a sold out solo exhibition with Michael Reid Southern Highlands.
Established in 2021, the National Emerging Art Prize was created to provide an annual, highly visible national platform to identify, promote and support the most promising emerging visual artists in Australia.
