Bio

Joyce Campbell grew up in a working class home in Olympia, WA. Her use of common , often industrial, materials and her resourceful way of making allows her to connect to those roots as well as to an audience that finds familiarity with what comes out of a blue collar upbringing. After receiving an A.A.A. in Industrial Design at the Art Institute of Seattle in 2004, she returned to her hometown of Olympia, WA to receive her BA in Sculpture and Art History from the Evergreen State College in 2008. Campbell is a hardworking Virgo that lives in Portland, OR with fellow creative and partner, Jeremy Hansen of Lo-Rent Sound, and their two french bulldog mixes, Pony and Dino. She received an MFA in 2023 from Pacific Northwest College of Art/Willamette University’s Applied Craft + Design program. In the studio, Campbell combines her art and design backgrounds by crafting playful home decor and furniture through a sculptural lens. When not in the studio you can probably find her organizing a teaching a class, workshop or planning a party to support her passion for bringing together members of her creative community.
