Lee Campbell : Landscape art and metaphysical
Stratocumulus
Although the themes of her paintings range from abstract, to landscape, to metaphysical, to waterscapes, there is a light, effervescent quality to all of her works. To see such a depth and brevity in subject yet steadiness of style in an artist is refreshing. On her website, she states “I enjoy the challenge of new subject matter and use colour to generate different moods and suggest dimensions hidden within familiar locations.” In the painting “Birefringence,” which can be seen at http://www.leecampbell.co.uk/Abstract, Lee uses an ordinary glass brick to demonstrate the phenomenon of birefringence. The dictionary.com definition of birefringence is “the separation of a ray of light into two unequally refracted, plane-polarized rays of orthogonal polarizations, occurring in crystals in which the velocity of light rays is not the same in all directions.” This is not the work of a woman who is content to rest on her laurels.

I love ‘Suspended’ in particular. Have you ever been to Japan? Your piece is very Kyoto in autumn.
