Cressida Campbell

Cressida Campbell is among Australia’s most significant contemporary artists working with painting and printmaking. Combining keen observation with a delicacy of line, Campbell’s woodblock paintings and prints capture the overlooked beauty of the everyday.

She has won numerous awards and held prestigious residencies, including the Pring Prize and the Trustees' Watercolour Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, as well as the Australia Council for the Arts Verdaccio Studio Residency in Italy.

Campbell’s work is held in prestigious public collections in Australia and internationally, including at the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Artbank and the British Museum in London. Her work is held in private collections in Australia, the UK, the USA and Monaco.

CRESSIDA CAMPBELL AT QAGOMA

Works by Cressida Campbell will be on display at QAGOMA in Brisbane as part of Margaret Olley: A Generous Life.

The exhibition examines the legacy and influence of much-loved Australian artist Margaret Olley. Olley was a charismatic character who exerted a lasting impact on many artists as a mentor and supporter, including longtime friend Cressida Campbell. The exhibition will profile a life that was immersed in art – Olley's own and that of those she supported.

The exhibition opens on 15 June and is on display until 13 October 2019.
