Pauline Eblé Campanelli (1943 – 2001) painted simple, rustic still lifes that transformed ordinary objects into items of exceptional, rare beauty. Married to renowned watercolorist Dan Campanelli, she was a preeminent artist in her own right. Although prestigious galleries and art museums bypassed her works, they sold by the hundreds of thousands through catalogs, furniture stores, and print and poster shops. Pauline’s belief in Paganism, an earth-based religion, also influenced her reverence for the simple beauty in the articles she painted.
