* SHELAGH CAMPBELL THE ISLAND THAT LIKES TO BE VISITED
acrylic on canvas framed image size 70cm x 70cm, overall size 89cm x 89cm Note: Studied at Glasgow School of Art. "As with many women artists of my era in the sixties, family came first for many years, although I never stopped painting. We lived in Ullapool, Wester Ross, with the glorious colours of the land and sea. We swapped Ullapool for Qatar in the Arabian Gulf (I still painted Wester Ross). In Qatar, I exhibited paintings, taught briefly, worked on Doha radio, and worked as an artistic advisor on Qatar TV. About 20 years ago I met my old teacher and great friend James D. Robertson RSA. He took me under his wing and told me to “Get bloody painting.” Because of Jimmy, I succeeded in having work accepted by the annual exhibitions of the RGI, RSW and PAI. I was winner of ‘The House for an Art Lover’ award at the Paisley Art Institute Exhibition in 2016 and winner of ‘The Glasgow Gallery’ award at the Paisley Art Institute Exhibition in 2018. My Exhibition at the ‘House for An Art Lover’ ‘Going Solo at Sixty-Nine’ ran for several months in the Spring of 2017. Since January 2014 more than one hundred and forty-three paintings by Shelagh Campbell have successfully sold through The Scottish Contemporary Art Auctions - a reflection of how popular her vibrant work is with UK collectors.
