Hugh H. Campbell (1905-1997)

Born December 4, 1905 in Atcheson, Kansas.  He moved to the Camden, New Jersey area when he was 10 years old.  Hugh Campbell left a nine-to-five job in 1930’s to pursue an artist’s life.   He jumped into his new life with nothing but determination and a “feeling” that he could paint.  He had no formal training. Training himself was his first priority, which he did by drawing over 1,000,000 free-hand circles and then over 130,000 (showing 500 of 5309 characters).
