About the Item
Benjamin Cameron spent 48 years teaching students in Columbia across three different colleges. His own works still hang on the walls around the community and tell a greater story of his life.
Cameron came to Columbia in 1967, when he began teaching at Stephens College. He then taught at MU until 1974 and then at Columbia College until his retirement in 2015.
He ran the Larson Gallery at Columbia College and with Kathleen Shanahan created the “Paper in Particular,” an annual juried art show.
Cameron, 80, passed away in his sleep peacefully Feb. 5, 2021, according to an obituary written by his wife.

Ben Cameron was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. His education followed his broad spectrum of interests in the arts. His first degree was from St. Louis University in 1962 in Speech and Dramatic Art. Then he studied fashion at Traphagen School of Fashion in New York in 1964. As he turned more toward visual art, he studied Studio Art and Art History at Washington University in St. Louis from 1963-65. He earned his MA in painting from the University of Iowa in 1966 and then followed his professor to The University of Cincinnati for the MFA Painting in 1967. Cameron began his teaching career in Fashion and Art at Stephens College,Columbia, Missouri, then moved on to the University of Missouri, straddling the same two fields. In 1974 he began his long tenure in the Art Department at Columbia College, retiring in 2015. He especially enjoyed his turn at running the Larson Gallery. His classrooms usually had the appearance of a combination of a giant still life with examples of work and source material for art. Between the above dates he packed in a career teaching the arts and prolific production of paintings, prints, and drawings. Cameron’s unique style and voice as a painter became evident with a series of highly-expressive, representational scenes painted large scale in the mid to late 1960s. These works contain a very broad palette with numerous colors forming every area of light and shadow. Still lifes with the same, highly-energetic color work and thick paint application are interspersed with figurative works of this era. Later paintings focus on singular subjects and bold, solid background fields.

Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...Category
