Rebecca Campbell was born in Stamford and spent her childhood in Ireland. She grew up surrounded by gardens and animals which continue to influence much of her art works. But it was time spent in India which really fired her imagination, and particularly for Mughal miniatures with their rich earth colours and bold designs. This influence remains the bedrock of much of her work.

In 1991 Rebecca Campbell started a business producing hand painted furniture and murals. Eventually she found this to be to restrictive for her artistic talents and as result started paint full time. In 2002 she held her first solo London exhibition and since then has undertaken a number of highly acclaimed art shows. Today Rebecca Campbell has successfully established a reputation as one of the leading British artists in the field of decorative arts.

Rebecca Campbell produces delightful, enigmatic and highly imaginative paintings which feature a world of plants and animals that appear to be happily confined within the boundaries of their own contented universe. Add a vivid sense of design that instantly captures the eye and you have paintings that project immense appeal. Rebecca Campbell paintings are often referred to as 'quintessentially English' although much of her strong sense of design and jewel colours are inspired by her extensive travels. Her ability to create intriguing compositions, bringing together the exotic with the domestic, whilst adding a liberal dash of humour, is perhaps the key to her popularity.

Speaking about Rebecca Campbell's art work Antiques Roadshow, Fine Art expert, Dendy Easton says: 'When I first saw Rebecca's work, it reminded me of the primitive art of the early 19th Century - her paintings are not primitive but they are simplicity of design. They also bring to mind the aerial views of houses and gardens painted in the 17 th century by Dutch artists. She has traditional influences but her execution is modern. Her distinctive style and English quirkiness echoes the work of 20 th- century artists Rex Whistler and Oliver Messel. Her paintings are highly decorative and beautifully composed really, they're murals in a small format. Her technique is very accomplished and her paintings are full of subtleties that make you look twice. They are very well priced too but, most importantly they make me smile.'
