With tremendous energy and remarkable vision, K L Campbell paints stunning voyages into the imagination. Her work presents unexpected combinations—lines, images, colors—that startle the reader and breathe new life into familiar images. As she states, “I work towards redefining the meaning of ‘beauty’, which is quite narrowed and skewed in this country. I believe that many of our experiences and what we see and how we feel on an everyday basis is ‘beautiful,’ so it’s a shift in awareness, perception and interpretation that I seek to accomplish with the work.” Campbell indeed challenges the viewer’s preconceived notions about the Beautiful—and yet, she never strays so far as to fail to engage her viewer’s mind and emotion. Her flair for texture and juxtaposition is evident in all her works, as is her feeling for stilled energy and suppressed emotion.

K L Campbell has exhibited her work internationally and has been commissioned by several private collectors. Originally from New York, she currently resides in Brooklyn.
