We had the good fortune of connecting with Carolyn Campbell, and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carolyn, where are you from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today.

I was born in Washington, DC, where, at age eight, I would take a bus past the White House to attend the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s children’s Saturday art classes. My parents worked for the Federal government and lavished art, music and dance lessons on their three daughters. Dad also played the clarinet and taught dance instruction. Mom was an award-winning writer, who also sculpted and did pen and ink drawings. I have a memory of not ever seeing any blank walls at our family home. We had floor-to-ceiling book cases bursting with volumes in all genres. The other spaces were covered with artworks by family and friends. My sisters and I grew up writing, making music, theatrical productions, and art. Needless to say, this was fertile ground for my creative life ahead.
