Michael Campbell
Michael Campbell grew up in Los Angeles where he learned to paint the rolling hills
and orange groves of Southern California. He traveled to France at an early age to
further develop his artistic talent. Noticed by a prominent French Gallery owner,
Campbell was introduced to the thriving artistic community of Paris. He presented his
oil, watercolors and pen and ink washes in galleries throughout the city; including the
Galerie Cambaceres and Boulevard Exhibitions. He also exhibited in Orleans' Galerie
D'Art and the Ecole des Beaux Arts.
After four years of painting architecture and landscapes throughout Europe, Campbell
returned to Southern California and established a studio in Laguna Beach, Ca.
Heeding the call to expand his horizons, Campbell was drawn to the subtle rain
washed landscape of the Pacific Northwest. He made the move to the majestic
Oregon Coast and spent several years working from his studio there.
While visiting the Southwest, Campbell found the raw rugged yet serene beauty of the
vistas irresistible. His journey has now led him to his present Northern New Mexico
location where he lives and works from his studio in Placitas, New Mexico.
With much of his life spent in beautiful parts of the world, Campbell's paintings express
the universal essence of nature. His paintings emerge from imagination and memory.
Powerful skies set the mood for each painting, like the first chapter in a novel. The
result is a dramatic natural scene that feels strangely familiar; no matter what part of
the world one calls home.
