About
River Art Gallery
In her captivating river art series, Jenelle Leigh Campion explores the profound connection between landscapes and spiritual journeys. Each river art piece transforms waterways into sacred resonances, depicting them as natural tuning forks echoing across Earth's surface. From the mighty Amazon to the sacred Ganges, this gallery features the world's most significant waterways.
Originally conceived as her MFA project at the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2012, this river art gallery has grown to include fifteen distinct pieces celebrating our deep connection to natural waterways. The series features diverse rivers including the Amazon, Colorado, Congo and Niger, and Ganges.
A special focus of the gallery is the Mississippi River Watershed, explored through eight unique interpretations using varied color combinations - from vibrant purple and blue to striking yellow and teal. Each Mississippi piece offers a different perspective on this mighty river system, using color pairings such as green and yellow, maroon and red, orange and green, pink and maroon, purple and blue, purple and green, and yellow and teal.
The gallery also encompasses other significant waterways: the Murray River, Nile River, Rio Grande, and Rivers of the Gulf of Mexico. Through this diverse river art portfolio, Campion portrays these waterways as living entities that connect our physical, psychological, and spiritual existence. Each piece invites viewers to embark on their own journey of self-discovery, celebrating the vital role rivers play in our world's ecological and spiritual landscape.
