This guy likes to incorporate one's middle name when addressing someone I know well. So is the case with Jackie Lee Campbell. I met Jackie over thirty years ago when we worked together (I made a career guest appearance at Caltech). Ever since then I am fortunate to call Jackie, her husband Richard and their beautiful family my friends. All during our friendship shared in Southern California I was not aware of Jackie's artistic talents. Only years after they moved to Colorado in 2000 did Richard share with me Jackie's success and recognition she has gained for her art. That is typical of the young lady from Boron, California...yes, there actually is a town in the California desert known historically on laundry room shelves for it's twenty mule teams (Borax). Jackie doesn't draw attention to herself, she's known by all those that come in contact as one of the kindest and most caring individuals on earth, with her loved ones coming first in everything she does.
Jackie works in most mediums and as you can see she delivers memorable results whether they be wildlife, landscapes, floral or modern. You can visit her web site to learn more of her work and teaching career at: http://campbellscreativeart.com/info.htm
I miss my friends that have moved to Colorado, I miss our other mutual Caltech friends, the Merediths', who now call North Carolina home. If I were afforded the chance to be selfish I would have both as next door neighbors on each side of me and life would be very good! Colorado or North Carolina, I'm still blessed to have them as friends.
Oh, that middle name thing... Jackie nicknamed my daughter Laura soon after her birth as "Laura Lou". To this day, thirty years later, it has stuck.
Jackie, beautiful work from a beautiful individual and friend.
