Cameron has been teaching art at Stoneridge since 1999 and has evolved an innovative, child-centered art curriculum. She is an active participant in an art-teacher group called “Teaching for Artistic Behavior” (TAB) which considers each child to be an artist and the curriculum is constructed to inspire and support children’s ideas and their intrinsic creative motivations.

Cameron has been an active participant in the fine arts for over 30 years. A photographer, she has exhibited widely throughout New England and was listed in Witkin’s The Photograph Collector’s Guide (1981). She was a finalist for the Mass Council of the Arts Grant (1975) and one of 300 photographers chosen for MIT’s Octave of Prayer (1972) and Celebrations (1974) exhibitions that later became Aperture monographs. She has designed a workshop, Drawing Into Creative Wholeness, which teaches a method of combining meditation and drawing; and she has led this workshop weekly since 1986. This workshop was presented at the 2008 WISE (Women’s Interfaith Spirituality Encounter) Conference in Andover, MA.

In addition to her photography, Cameron is a self-taught oil painter, printmaker, sculptor and a writer. She is the author of three books: Sticks (2008), which describes what she has learned from her students in her art classroom at Stoneridge; One End Open (1999), a compilation of prose poetry and paintings originating from her workshop; and Simply Great (1989), cooking instruction manual for teachers of non-readers she developed while teaching the mentally handicapped workers at Opportunity Workshop in Newburyport, MA. She exhibits regularly at the Chameleon Art Salon and participates in the annual Maudslay Sculpture Exhibit. Samples of her artwork can be seen on her website.

Cameron lives in Newbury with her husband and visits as often as possible with her four children and eight grandchildren.
