Annie B. Campbell is a ceramic and multi-media sculptor. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art & Art History at Auburn University in Alabama, where she teaches all levels of the ceramic arts. Supported by a Competitive Professional Improvement Leave and Summer Research and Humanities Grant awarded by her university for the 2025-2026 academic year, she traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland, where she holds a studio at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop. There, she is developing a year-long project entitled Kindling: Connecting Neuroscience, Cajal, and Climate Change with Ceramic Sculpture. This interactive installation is inspired by the pioneering 19th-century neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s retinal-neural network illustrations.
She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Department of Crafts and Material Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, with a concentration in ceramics. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in Studio Ceramics from Indiana University, Bloomington. Her past residencies include Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Maine, The Scottish Sculpture Workshop, Studio 550 in New Hampshire, Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts and Sciences in Georgia, and Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop in Scotland. In 2019, it was at ESW that she began her current body of work, which is shaped by the climate crisis and her son’s rare neurological diagnosis. Campbell maintains an active studio practice and exhibits her work nationally and internationally.
