Close up of "Scarlet Fever" 14" x 18" mixed media on canvas panel.

For a long time I painted in acrylics and drew in graphite and I would never dream of mixing the two.  In fact I used to think that if I used marker or a pencil to do detail work on my paintings it would somehow render it no longer legit.  Mixed media is just that:  mixing together all of your media into one masterpiece!  How genius is THAT?!  Thanks to an army of amazing instructors I learned the magic of mixed media.   Learning that it was okay to throw all your art supplies into a single project was like...well it was like a dream come true!  

There is a tremendous and glorious freedom to working in mixed media. It reemphasizes the fact that there are no rules in art and for each piece PLAY is the primary driving force of inspiration.  And so I am proud to show off my mixed media pieces as I know I am showing off a piece of my heart.  Pieces for purchase will be listed in the Store.  Many have sold, and many have prints made available for purchase.  If you are confused or interested, please feel free to email me at coolmamacampbell@gmail.com.
