Access to Lee Campbell's studio is via a footbridge in the London Borough of Twickenham Riverside. Alternatively, the artist can take a boat to the island that became her artistic home over twenty years ago. The manageable Eel Pie Island is an idyllic island in the middle of the Thames. For the artist in residence in her younger years, it is a haven of peace and a special place in London. From the small island, her idols and sources of inspiration Turner and Whistler have probably already experienced the view over the river and the city. Perhaps on the very spot where her art studio now stands. For Lee Campbell, the influences of her artistic idols have intensified with her move to Aaalpastete Island. Until then, the artist has lived through a phase that could hardly be more varied.
Lee Campbell's first commission took her to the Department of Space Science at the University of Kent. Lee produced a large painting of the Giotto Space Craft in its approach to Halley's Comet. This was followed by the Royal Ballet School and Hotels, which is the first house on the site. For the native New Zealander, it was a great time. She used the period to immerse herself in exciting subjects and meet people who were passionate about her art. Lee Campbell consistently paints with oils. She applies the paint in thin layers on top of each other. An oil glaze is a thin layer of colored paint that adds visual depth to a painting when multiple layers are applied on top of each other. Lee Campbell uses this technique to create a mystical impression of reality. An effect often found in religious depictions, but used by Campbell to create the magic of the British landscape. Lee Campbell sees her work as uniting the colour and clarity of her native New Zealand with the myth-filled history and magical atmosphere of England. The artist finds themes and ideas in literature and elsewhere. Thus she followed the flow of thought of a contemporary poet on the question of where gods go when no one believes in them anymore. In Lee Campbell's pictorial interpretation, the gods live in a forest on "shadow paths" and she thus draws an apt representation of the poem.
Lee Campbell uses the unique expressiveness through the fusion of color and mysticism in her commitment to the protection of nature and the environment. Her painting "Pacific Reef" sends a signal for ocean conservation. She was inspired to paint the painting by the struggle to keep the oceans free of plastic. The artist explored the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia and saw with great concern the vulnerability of the habitat. The painting suggests the transparency of sunlight on the shallow and clear water and is a symbol of the uniqueness of our oceans.
