Carrie Campbell is a feminist and contemporary visual artist based in Brampton Ontario. Much of her material focuses on a variety of subjects, surrounding the growth of women, families, and marginalized peoples. Using her art, she aims to present her own feelings and experiences of tenderness, vulnerability, and underlying resilience, with themes ranging from subjects of personal struggles such as domestic violence and mental health issues, to depictions of her own personal favourite topics; culture and love. Raised in Queens, she studied in the New York Regional Studio Art Program for three years, before momentous life events eventually led her to Toronto, where she holds a diploma with honours in studio art from the International Council for Open Distance and Education, and has exhibited work at over 15, gallery exhibits, public events, and juried displays of fine art. She was a participating artist in a public vigil held by the City of Brampton in February 2019, in response to an act of femicide committed in the region. A life coach, and owner of an itinerant art and wellness workshop business, she is the lead instructor and pioneer of a wellness-through-art program known as Empowered Through Art, held at a local artist-run gallery. Her work is part of a community engagement initiative which promotes themes of positivity among residents of the city while using art techniques to remind them of the indelible impression art can have on any region. Carrie also has mixed media pieces on

permanent public display at the Family Life Resource Center and Hope 24/7, which are both local women’s centers within the Region of Peel. Carrie has received awards for her artwork, as well as volunteer efforts within local grassroots community outreach organizations serving marginalized populations in Brampton.
