Camille Cormier. Painter. Shediac, New Brunswick. Active 20th century.

Camille Cormier made paintings-often from old photographs-of traditional Acadian scenes and customs. He has been collected widely both privately and in Museums. He was unable to accept a scholarship to study painting in his youth and painted very casually until he retired to the Moncton area in 1978. The McCord Museum in Montreal has a number of his works in their collections. (See the link below.)
