Leroy Campbell

Leroy Campbell is a Charleston, South Carolina native and New York City-ripened fine artist whose work is described as ‘riveting, stirring the soul and transporting the mind into the dreams of our elders’ (Mikki Taylor, Editor at Large, Essence Magazine). With no formal training, Campbell’s art is inspirited by Jacob Lawrence and Charles Motley, infused with Gullah-Geechee roots, post-Renaissance vibes of Harlem and Brooklyn, and the 1980s African cultural resurgence. He uses acrylic, paper, tapestries, and organic materials to weave together history and humanity — each piece serving as his tithe, a gift of cultural storytelling rooted in the Gullah-Geechee heritage. He has recently released a memoir, *Extended Hands, A Love Story*, and his works are sold as limited edition reproductions (hand embellished or unembellished). Instagram: @leroycampbellart.
