Marjorie Cameron Parsons Kimmel (April 23, 1922 — June 24, 1995), who professionally used the mononym Cameron, was an American artist, poet, actress, and occultist .. Cameron’s occult beliefs closely impacted her artworks.According to The Huffington Post, Cameron’s artwork merges “Crowley’s occult with the surrealism and symbolism of French poets, yielding dark yet whimsical depictions buzzing with otherworldly power”.The art curator Philippe Vergne described her work as being situated on “the edge of surrealism and psychedelia”, embodying “an aspect of modernity that deeply doubts and defies cartesian logic at a moment in history when these values have shown their own limitations”.
