Greta Van Campen Art

Greta Van Campen is known for her geometric hard-edged graphic approach to representation. She has traveled across the United States sourcing inspiration from the landscapes, small towns and cities. Now, with a young family, she gets most of her inspiration close to home. Scenic ocean views and paintings of flowers from her gardens make up the bulk of her new work. She paints in her home studio, beginning each piece with a photograph she has taken. As Van Campen explains, she “figure(s) out how to recreate a version of the natural, atmospheric place by turning it into a more geometric, color and balance-driven scene that is hopefully appealing, interesting, and authentic.” Van Campen was born in and resides in Maine. She received her BFA from Bowdoin College, Maine. She is represented by Octavia Art Gallery, Los Angeles & Texas and Dowling Walsh Gallery, Maine. She has exhibited at Gallery Bomma, Maine, J GO Gallery, Utah, Hespe Gallery, California, Firecat Projects, Illinois.
