Description: From the "Trespasser" series of bird paintings: A Tufted Titmouse family has trespassed into the artist's studio and built their nest behind some art paper. Here, a baby is awaiting mom and dad.

NOTE:
The “Trespasser Series” Description: Camille and husband, Todd, have created a bird sanctuary surrounding their home/studio. When the French doors to the artist’s studio are open, hummingbirds have flown into the studio toward her colorful paintings which gave the artist her idea for this series. A whimsical comment on how people destroy birds’ natural homes by their construction invasion, this series is based upon the thought, “what if birds were to take over our living environments!?” The “Trespasser Series” is a series of paintings to depict backyard birds who have trespassed into the artist's studio and built their nests in her art supplies.
