West Coast painter Rebecca Campbell left her Mormon roots and a naďve 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. Campbell’s paintings are sometimes reflective of a rural past, but don’t be fooled by the wasp in a jar. Campbell’s work is quite varied and the sexual imagery in her paintings can be quite graphic, no doubt due to time spent hanging around strip clubs.
