Camilla Campbell is a Scottish artist who graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA (Hons) in Drawing and Painting in 2004. She studied for two years at the Leith School of Art and gained a 'Distinction' for consistently excellent work. Camilla has exhibited in both the Visual Arts Scotland and Royal Scottish Academy exhibtions, winning the RSA Latimer and SSA Kilmorack awards for meritorious work, Her paintings are held in many private and corporate collections.
Camilla uses written elements in her work, particularly from historical maps and documents. Handwriting and place names are important parts of each piece. The paintings look to the edges of traditional landscape painting, finding abstracted motifs and using strong colour to create a memorable atmosphere and a sense of timelessness. ‘I want to find the connection between the past and the present to give a genuine expression of human experience in the landscape’.
