French-American sculptor Justin Campbell was born in Chambery, a city in the French Alps on May 23rd, 1984, second son of American father Brian and French mother Katia Campbell.  He grew up on the North Carolina coast developing an intimate connection with the subtropical wildlife in and out of the water. Justin‚s passion for art showed at an early age, in his drawing, painting and sculpting.  He worked on his own, imitating masters, and reinforcing craftsmanship and technical skills, whether in his father‚s workshop, or in restoration sites overseas.  After an eight months long dive-trek adventure through Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, he began his studies in 2003 at East Carolina University‚s School of the Fine Arts, one of the top Art institutions in the South-East. Justin currently works out of his studio at the university.  His forged iron, bronze and aluminum creations reflect vigor and bold imagination.  He works on commissions conveying his emotional connection to the misunderstood creatures he grew up respecting.
