She was born in Sydney in 1960 to Ruth and Ross Campbell. She studied at East Sydney Technical College in 1978 and 1979. Her older sister is actress Nell Campbell.[2]

Her first husband Peter Crayford died in 2011. She married Warren Macris in April 2022. She lives in the Sydney suburb of Bronte, in her home studio.[3]

Career

Campbell spent several weeks at the Yoshida Hanga Academy in Tokyo in 1985.  From this she learned how to lead the eye around the picture plane using composition.[4]

She exhibited in London in 2001 (when Germaine Greer introduced her at the opening) and 2003. As of 2006, her technique centers on painting her woodblocks in preparation for hand-printing with them.[5] Campbell's technique is based on 'white line' printmaking, a technique pioneered by Bror Julius Olsson Nordfeldt in 1914. She is described as following in the footsteps of Margaret Preston and Thea Proctor.[6]
