Aaron B. Campbell is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans oil painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, and digital practice. With formal training in fine art alongside a professional background in drafting, web development, 3D modeling, and digital fabrication, his career has unfolded at the intersection of art, technology, and systems thinking.
Painting was Campbell’s first language, and despite decades spent working in digital media, serious gaming, and interactive platforms, his studio practice has remained continuous. As his career carried him across industries and geographies, he painted wherever he landed, often leaving works behind as markers of time, place, and persistence. These dispersed works form an informal archive of a life lived through making.
His professional experience building digital tools and visual systems sharpened his understanding of structure, space, and process, which now directly informs his approach to oil painting. Campbell’s work explores the tension between precision and intuition, control and responsiveness, embracing both disciplined construction and painterly sensitivity to form, light, and narrative.
Influenced by Leonardo da Vinci’s refusal to separate art from inquiry, Campbell approaches his practice as an evolving exploration rather than a fixed medium. He is less concerned with categorization than with continuity, how ideas, skills, and experiences migrate across tools and time.
Alongside his wife, Campbell is a co-founder of an independent art gallery located in Green Gate Village in downtown St. George, Utah, contributing to the region’s cultural life through exhibition, education, and community engagement.
Campbell is currently working toward his third degree, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Oil Painting at Utah Tech University, where his studio practice continues to integrate classical foundations with contemporary experience and technical fluency.
