Growing up in Southern California, Kamhi spent many childhood hours roaming the hills around her home and many weekends bodysurfing in the ocean.  These early memories perhaps influence her art, because California landscapes and seascapes are her preferred subjects. Although Kamhi also works in other media, pastels are her passion because of their tactile quality and unique ability to paint the visual poetry that nourishes her soul.  She loves to hike in the local mountains and observe the essence of the sunlight, the complexity of form in the landscape, the interaction of light and shadow.  She feels it is a privilege to closely observe what others fail to see in the course of their hurried lives.
