Gordon Campbell Artist Statement & Bio
My mosaic art differs from most because I use linoleum and vinyl floorcovering as my medium. Since my pieces mostly consist of discontinued samples & discarded materials, I must create my images using a limited range of color on my “palette”. That is a challenge I enjoy, putting these materials to a new and creative use.
It becomes art and a form of recycling, rather than landfill!
I graduated from the University of Denver with a degree in the Building Industry and spent my adult working life as a homebuilding contractor and later as a kitchen designer. I have had classes in oil & acrylic painting, architectural and mechanical drawing, but my mosaics are the result of self-teaching. I have been creating mosaics for over 15 years.
My art has been displayed at the following galleries and shows: Lake Oswego Festival of Arts and Flowers; Oregon Society of Artists Gallery-Portland; Valley Art Gallery-Forest Grove; Village Arts-Cedar Mill; Beaverton Art Mix; Sequoia Galley-Hillsboro; Turner Creek Boutique -Hillsboro; Beaverton City Hall; Hillsboro-various City facilities; Intel JF3&5, HF2-Hillsboro; Anne Ami Vineyards-Carlton; Brookwood Library-Hillsboro; Primary Elements Gallery-Cannon Beach; Reser Center for the Arts-Beaverton; Grey Raven Gallery-Beaverton; Celebration of Creativity-Beaverton
