Pooja Campbell received her BFA from Montserrat College of Art in MA, a Certificate in Textile Design from Cape Technikon in South Africa, and her MFA from American University. Campbell creates figurative paintings and works on paper that explore cultural inheritance, domestic space, and the complexities of immigrant identity. Influenced by Indian textile traditions, drawing, and contemporary figurative painting, her rich and layered compositions function as visual journals that merge personal narrative with collective experience.

Campbell's work has been exhibited in venues including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (Richmond, Virginia), the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (Virginia Beach, Virginia), the University of Mary Washington (Fredericksburg, Virginia), the Academy of Fine Arts (New York, New York), the Boston International Fine Art Show (Boston, Massachusetts), and The Gallery as part of the Erasing Borders Exhibition of Contemporary Indian Art (Flushing, New York), among others.

Campbell is the recipient of the 2024 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Graduate Fellowship, the Ruth Meixner-Bird Award, the Wolpoff Award, and the Acquisition Award from the University of Mary Washington.

Her work and artistic practice have been featured in publications including CanvasRebel Magazine, ELAN Magazine, and Escape Into Life. Campbell is a resident artist at The Grounds, a maker’s and creator’s space in Oakton, VA.
