She received her Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Pratt Institute in 1981 and her Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from the University of Vermont in 1976. She has also undertaken post-graduate studies in ecological thinking at Schumacher College in Devon, United Kingdom, in 1998 and 2015. Cami has attended artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and Banff Centre for the Arts, Alberta, Canada, and has exhibited throughout Vermont, New York and San Diego. Her work is in private and public collections nationally.

Cami is the recipient of the Lee Krasner-Jackson Pollock Foundation grant for painting, the Argosy Foundation and Puffin Foundation grants for painting (in collaboration with composer Sam Guarnaccia, a UVM Sustainability Fellow), and the Lattie Coor award recipient for Strengthening the Environment in the Humanities at the University of Vermont. Her paintings, installations, and community art projects have followed the climate-change movement for the last decade. She is interested in the role perception plays in understanding the human-nature relationship and considers studio practice to be her fundamental means to navigating life in a warming world.
