Hello and welcome, this is Camille Delaquise, poet, musician and artist.

Camille Delaquise is a Melbourne based poet, artist & singer-songwriter. Camille’s art comes from a place of being inquisitive about how the world works, a deep appreciation for language and a love of how art connects people to the beauty in the world.

“For me poetry is a way to dissect ideas, to hold up language for a closer examination. Poetry is the formula  that uncovers the truth, identifying what is really being said and why, it is our story to tell, the knowledge we pass on. Language is the foundation from which we build everything.”

Some of my artwork may bear my previous artist name, Camille Barr, while newer pieces are signed under my new name, Camille Delaquise. This represents a transition in my artistic identity, a journey of growth and self-discovery. While my older work reflects a different chapter in my life, my newer pieces embody the evolution and authenticity of who I am today. Each signature tells a story, marking a moment in time and capturing the essence of my creative evolution. The artist's path has never been easy, very often opportunities for creativity are shut down and hidden away. So when the name of a grandparent kept secret surfaced, it serendipitously fell into place with this struggle.

Join Camille Delaquise as she embarks on a journey of exploration, illumination and creative revelation – an invitation to witness the unraveling of truth through the transformative power of art.
