Craig Campbell was brought up in the West Coast of Scotland, born in Prestwick, Ayrshire in 1960. He studied at The Glasgow School of Art and spent his early years working in London as a graphic illustrator. Deciding to paint for a living, Craig returned to Glasgow. His detail and quality soon earned him prestigious exhibitions, a successful American tour and a show of his golf paintings at the Open.
Campbell’s paintings continue to attract a growing number of art collectors that include many sports and media personalities. These include Sir Sean Connery, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Tiger Woods.
