This from Art MoCo on the work of Rebecca Campbell:
"West Coast painter Rebecca Campbell left her Mormon roots and a naïve sense of the art world behind in Utah when she headed off to art school in Oregon. But it didn’t take long for Campbell to trade the security blanket of her religion for the trappings of feminism as she started to explore themes that took on more social relevancy."

I am always amazed at how people from an intense religious background can transform themselves into something so reviled by those in the church. That being said, I am glad that Campbell found herself out of her Mormon upbringing and discovered a joy in art. And even better, we get to experience it with her.

Campbell's work is currently available at LA Louver.
