This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| The following is from Jill Campbell, daughter of the artist, via Joe E. Reed
Lucille Campbell Miller was born in Decatur Illinois. Her first occupation in the work force was secretarial. This was typical for ladies born and living during this time frame, to pick a career path, train and find work in the field. She attended secretarial college.
In the late 1930s she married Linden Campbell, a serviceman, and traveled throughout the country with camera in hand. After settling in Houston, Texas in the mid 40s Lucille became interested in painting and took lessons, developing her own style, her good camera eye became her best tool. After losing Linden in the 1960's, she took more art classes that included lessons in painting portraits, landscapes and palette knife painting.
Through interpolation, study, and her keen eye of observation, her painting abilities gained momentum to the point she was an accomplished artist. In 1970 Lucille met and married Roy G. Miller. This brought Lucille to Fort Worth Texas. Here the Southwest influenced her as well as the western culture art found in the Fort Worth Amon Carter Museum of Western Art. She studied the paintings of Charles M. Russell, Frederick Remington, Thomas Moran, Thomas Cole, and other artists. It was in this period of her lifetime that she began teaching art lessons.
During the span of her artistry she completed painting approximately 300
works. She was most accomplished at landscape painting. Family members,
friends and private collections hold her works. Jokingly kidded by family members about a slight curl on the end of the name "Campbell" in one of her paintings that somewhat resembled an "a" she would sometimes sign the work intentionally suffixed with the letter, saying that was her "Luigi Campbella".
Members of the family remember her holding on to many paintings that a member would love, only to give them the painting after they had "loved" the work for some time. Works prior to 1970 were normally signed L. Campbell or L. Campbella, with paintings during her later years signed L. Campbell Miller.
