About the Artist: One of the Mid Atlantic areas best-known arts personalities, F. Lennox Campello studied art at the University of Washington School of Art in Seattle, under Professors Norman Lundin, Alden Mason, Jacob Lawrence, Everet DuPen and others. Although he graduated from Washington in 1981, the artist started to sell his work professionally in 1977, when he became one of the regular exhibiting artists at Seattle's world famous PikePlace Market. His art career has grown prodigiously since those days, and several of his "Pike Place Market" originals have since sold at auction for thousands of dollars, both in the US and Europe. In that same year that he graduated from Washington, he won the William Whipple National Art Competition First Prize for Printmaking, as well as the Silver Medal at the Ligoa Duncan International Art Competition in Paris and the French "Prixde Peinture de Raymond Duncan," also in Paris. Commissioned as an Ensign in the US Navy in1981, the artist was transferred to Spain, where he worked on a series of landscapes of Andalusia which now hang in over fifty private collections in Spain, Portugal and the United States. In 1985, he returned to the United States, living in Monterey, California(while pursuing a Masters degree) and later to Bowie, Maryland. During this time, he returned to figurative drawings, as well as delivered illustrations for magazines and periodicals. In 1989, Campello moved to Scotland, where he lived in a 307 year old farmhouse at the foothills of the Highlands near the ancient Pictish village of Brechin. The rugged character of the Scottish land and hisdiscovery of the mezzotints of David Waterson, a mid-century Scottishprintmaker, revived his previous interest in landscape, and for the next threeyears he produced over three hundred watercolors of Scotland. This work earned him the First Prize in watercolors at the 42nd Annual International North WyndRiver Art Competition in the United States. In 1992, the artist returned to America and lived for a year in Sonoma, California, where he produced over 400 commissioneddrawings for the Sonoma Ballet Conservatory.
