Lydia Campbell
Lydia Campbell is a recent graduate from the College of Charleston with a BA in Studio Art.
Her photorealistic drawings and watercolor paintings explore figurative youth and personal relationships within contemporary American lifestyle.
She is currently working on a series of drawings on paper that examine the realistic and imagined physical identity and the space it might occupy; and on a second series of watercolors on paper that document physical locations/destinations and the people or materials that relate to them.
Lydia is based in the Lowcountry, but plans to move to Martha’s Vineyard in 2018. She is represented by The Southern gallery.

He has been exhibiting internationally since 1981, and his work may be found in public collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum. He has received numerous awards, including four National Endowment for the Arts Visual Arts Fellowships, and several others.
