About the Artist

A native of Los Angeles, award-winning painter Ann Marie Campbell earned a BA in Painting/Sculpture/Graphic Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles where she also was inducted as a life-long member into the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society. She also acquired a California Teaching Credential along the way.

In early years, Ann focused on murals, and for 20+ years travelled across the nation and Canada creating fine art murals for homes, businesses, churches and public art. One major client was Richard Branson of the Virgin Companies, who commissioned her to paint his Virgin Megastores in more then 25 major cities in the U.S. This exposure led to critical professional recognition in both newspapers and magazines. 

Ann has a passion for Ancient Art and the various techniques practiced through millennia. She studied through courses offered by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles as well as from private specialists and artisans. She has become adept at art procedures such as hot wax encaustic, egg tempera, iconography, and Illuminates Miniatures painted on goatskin parchment.

Ann has taught workshops in these techniques, such as St. Ender’s Island Monastery in Mystic, CT.

Ann is an Associate Member of the California Art Club and a member of the Oil Painters of America. She has exhibited in national shows, juried competitions and invitational events, including the prestigious Crocker Art Museum Annual Art Auction. Ann has won many First Place awards, among other awards.

Many publications and newspapers have recognized her talent, including the New York Times and Craig’s New York Business to Woman’s Wear Daily and the Sacramento Bee. A recent highlight of her award-winning painting “No Admittance! Elites Only!” can be seen in Inside Sacramento Magazine.
