This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Born in Canada, Crissie Cameron became a painter, primairly a watercolorist, noted especially for floral views, mountain landscapes and harbor scenes. She was a long-time teacher, 1895 to 1942, in the Tacoma, Washington public schools. Her own art training was with Edgar Forkner in Seattle and at Stanford University.
In the 1890s, she began painting, and spent many weekends sketching in the mountains with a group called the Tacoma Mountaineers. She also painted in California, where oak trees and eucalpyti were among her favorite subjects, and she traveled in Britain and France and other European countries.
Memberships included the Tacoma Art League, Northwest Watercolor Society and Women Painters of Washington.
