Craig Campbell - Nostalgic Realist

About the Artist

Craig Campbell is a Canadian realistic artist who has gained international recognition for his portrayals of the Ontario scene. His nostalgic interpretations of railroads, general stores and rural Canadiana allow the viewer to experience the lifestyles of yesteryear. Craig has been a professional member of the visual arts community since 1971 and has resided in the Perth area for over 20 years.

A recipient of 22 international merits, including the Toronto Archives Award and the Ottawa Silver Cup, Craig's paintings are included in the collections of many corporate and private patrons of the arts. His more than three dozen murals decorate the walls of more than 30 buildings in Ontario and New York State (including this wall at the entrance to a Perth parking lot.)
