Em Campbell is a Maryland-based painter working in watercolor, gouache, acrylics, and ink. Her work spans florals, seascapes, abstract landscapes, and wildlife; recurring themes of sea and sky, wilderness and wings that form the foundation of her practice.
Raised in the South, Em spent her childhood outdoors, raising tomatoes with her father and ranging through woods with her brothers. That early intimacy with the natural world became the soil in which both her subject matter and her purpose as an artist grew. She studied fine arts under Maja Godlewska, Associate Professor of Art at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and has since built a practice rooted in close observation of the living world.
Em teaches watercolor at Anne Arundel Community College and Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts. Her collections have been commissioned and acquired by private collectors, displayed in galleries, and recognized in juried exhibitions.
