Neva Campbell works with acrylic, watercolor, and gouache on paper and canvas. She considers herself an impressionist, using vivid colors to convey emotional light and density. The subjects of her work range from creatures, people, places, and common objects that she feels passionate about capturing. Her work's complexity does not come from estimating its conceptual meaning but finding connection through the shared human experiences of beauty, truth, and emotion. Currently her work is sold in several venues in South Carolina and collected by art enthusiasts in North America. She is a native of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where she finds inspiration in the South's dark history, gorgeous vistas, and briny water.

Artist Statement

Currently she is working on several series. Pictures is one of her pieces from the Flesh and Bone series. She has always been intrigued by the varied textures of skin and bone and how to render their beautiful texture on canvas and paper. Some people may think of the nude human form as just an expression of sexuality, or the depiction of human bones as morbid. Neva sees them as the magnificent and innocent framework that makes each of us unique and animated. Portrait artist, Bob Johnston, says about the Flesh and Bone series, "There is a sensitivity to her work that inspires the viewer to participate in the messages of her creations."
