| O-039 Mountain-Stream by Sandra Campbell pastel 12x16 $225 |
I love color and experimentation. My subjects include landscapes, florals, still life and animals. Initially, I worked only with soft pastels but since have branched out into collage and acrylics, often combining these into mixed media pieces. Lately, I’ve created some abstract works, a complete departure for someone who used to produce only realistic art.

For pastels, I like to work on
sanded surfaces, which allow for more layers of color. When people hear the word ‘pastel,’ they may
think of soft colors. But what attracts
me to this medium is the possibility for vibrant oranges, brilliant yellows,
and intense purples and reds.

Mixed media pieces utilize
traditional canvasses, canvas panels or boards, both cradled and flat. Many of my collage pieces are fabricated from
rice or similar-type papers, which come in a variety of textures. Others
utilize papers out of discarded picture books or atlases.
Landscapes are created both from my
own photographs and by working plein air with fellow artists in a group that
meets twice monthly for critique and support.
Many of the finished products are featured at an annual art show sponsored
by the Amador County Artists Association (ACAA).

Amador County is alive with artists
who inspire me and support my efforts.
Periodically, I take a college class or an artist’s workshop which may
send me in a new direction. Membership
in the ACAA and Amador County Arts Council provides collegial support as does
my informal art group. My work is on
display at the Sutter Creek Gallery at 40 Main Street, Sutter Creek. View additional images on my website at www.sandracampbellart.com and the
