This is Hazel Campbell's fifth solo exhibition at Designs Gallery which includes a varied and exciting collection of work.

Hazel has a loose bold approach to her paintings, working mainly in oil and gouache, using local Galloway countryside as a stimulus for her landscape painting.		  
  Hazel has lived and worked in Galloway for most of her adult life, and, although she has no formal art education, attendance at classes over a period of years has enabled her to develop her own vigorous style of painting.

Her still life and flowers, like her landscapes, are treated in the same broad colourful way. She has exhibited widely in solo and mixed shows at galleries in Scotland and London over the past few years. In addition, she exhibits regularly with the RGI, RSW and PAI, and also at the Glasgow Art Fair and Affordable Art in Battersea.

Work in public collections includes Gracefield Gallery, Dumfries; Stewartry Museum Collection, Kirkcudbright; and the Permanent Collection of the House of Lords.

She was a finalist in the Laing Competition in 1991 and 1993, and was awarded the Dorothy Duff Memorial Prize by the VAS in 2001. In May 2004, Hazel was awarded the Fraoch Gallery Award at Paisley Art Institute.

Hazel Campbell has run painting classes for the last nine years from her studio on the family farm at Lochdougan. These are proving to be very popular, with her students having scope to paint in the adjoining back garden and surrounding countryside.
