Artist Biography 

Cindy Campbell is an artist whose current creative practice is concerned with bringing her feelings and perspectives into form through the mediums of ceramics and oil painting. With a Diploma of Fine Art from Meadowbank TAFE and an Advanced Certificate in Photography from Ultimo Technical College, she has built a career over 20 years across the disciplines of painting, photography, craft and design. 

Her intention to connect people with ideas, to create community and explore the boundaries of her medium has seen her exhibit work in public and commercial gallery spaces, participate in heritage restoration and collaborate with partners in enterprise. Cindy’s ceramic, photographic and painted works have been acquired into private collections and incorporated into public art projects within Australia and abroad. Cindy lives on Wurundjuri Country (Yarra Valley), after time in Sydney, Central Australia and Southern Tablelands, now making work from her studio with a view to the hills. 

PURE BY CINDY CAMPBELL

Translating the embodiment of emotion into a contemplation on canvas, Campbell uses paint to reflect her state. PURE is both an expression of Campbell’s inner landscape and an interpretation of her surroundings. This series of paintings works in harmony, humming with layers of colour and feeling, inviting close inspection while rejecting distraction. 

Employing colour to communicate a state of being, Campbell pairs repetitive brushstrokes with tonal layers to convey how the experience of a moment is composed of many moments gone before. In memory, in our body, in our environment: our present is a coalescence of the past.
