Annmarie Campbell, grew up in Louisville, and was a passionate artist and Murray State art graduate that understood both the dark and the beautiful sides of weathering life’s journeys. The intent of her work was to investigate relationships of dualityâ€"principally, attraction and repulsion. Campbell devoted much of her time to drawing, printmaking and photography.
She died at age 23 in May 2006, while serving as an artist-in-residence at Fancy That in Paris, Tenn., attacked by an alligator on an outdoor adventure in Ocala, Florida. Yankeelov, her mother, established a scholarship in her name at Murray State to support art students. The fund is looking to reach endowment with this event. Yankeelov also serves on the board of Art Sanctuary, and supports the vision of every artistâ€"to be heard and seen through their work. Proceeds will benefit both missions.
Previous and currently committed exhibitors include Mary Verrandeaux (horse themed paintings), Vian Sora (mystical works from Baghdad), and Jesse Cooley (compiled and found art), as well as other famed artists in other genres.
