Visiting Artist: Beth Campbell

Hearing Beth Campbell's  story of how she came to be an artist was really great. She explored many mediums throughout her career. Being able to hear a successful artist's perspective of the creative process was enlightening. She has explored such interesting concepts, such as mirroring.  Her work has been on such a grand scale. I found it interesting that she was a painting major, and it wasn't until very late in her schooling that she began to explore other options. At this point, she is an installation artist. It was great to hear the stories behind the work. There were parts of her installations that were planned, and other parts just sort of happened in the process. I think its very important to accept these happy accidents, and then chose to use or ignore them.
