Jill Campbell -

“I am a painter based in County Durham and the inspiration for my work is an ancient mining landscape called Cockfield Fell where I walk nearly every day.

When I moved to the north east a few years ago I fell in love with the beauty of this fascinating, atmospheric landscape. I decided to go back to university to take a fine art degree and the fell was an obvious subject for my work. I’m delighted to draw attention to this part of the world through my painting. What I like best about the fell is its strange other worldly quality. Its abstract shapes are created by early morning shadows and framed by big dramatic skies. Its pools, pathways, mounds, dips and curves are my motifs, these underlie the composition of my paintings. I want to keep some link to reality but at the same time I want to reinterpret what I see. I think that my paintings are close to abstraction but yet still retain a recognisable link to the landscape I know.

 I have regularly exhibited in galleries and prestigious competitions throughout the UK including the Royal Academy summer exhibition, the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and the New Light exhibition.”
