Leyda Campbell has captured not only the brooding vastness of the Canadian wilderness but also the fragile and delicate qualities that distinguishes it and makes it one of the visual envies of the rest of the world.

As an artist, she has spent much of the last 50 years in some of Canada’s most remote areas, such as Eureka on Ellesmere Island, NWT, only 600 miles from the North Pole.  Her extensive knowledge of the landscape makes her a virtual encyclopedia of the Canadian vision. Leyda’s art is a clear, forthright statement of the majestic and sometimes daunting landscape of the Canadian wilderness. Her art and message are boldly presented in her mastery of the subtle colours and gentleness of her form and composition.

Detail is skillfully applied to convey texture and contrast. Through her refinements and talent, she has become one of Canada’s leading wilderness artists.
