The artists behind the Eggs of an Era

The Elephant Family and Clarence Court eggs have joined forces with well known artists to produce seven giant eggs, which will be displayed in London’s Chelsea before being auctioned to support conservation work in South Asia.   

The eggs feature one-off, unique designs and use different mediums, representing the style of our talented artists.

Rebecca Campbell 

International selling British artist Rebecca Campbell lives and works in London. She trained as an illustrator and this has led to her unique, narrative style of work. Her paintings have been described as “delightful, enigmatic and highly imaginative. They have an impeccable sense of colour and design, coupled with a touch of humour. Rebecca’s world is one of variety, eccentricity and joy.” Her influences are eclectic: a love of nature came from growing up in the Irish countryside with a menagerie of animals and birds, as well as being surrounded by the most beautiful gardens. She has travelled extensively; the biggest impact came from her three months spent in India, seeing first hand the Mughal miniature paintings with their rich earth colours, bold design and exquisite attention to detail. These influences remain the bedrock of much of her work today.

She has been showing her paintings with Jonathan Cooper, London, since 2002 as well as in the States, Mexico and Canada. She has also worked as an illustrator and designer, the latest collaborations have been with Good Earth India and Globe Trotter.

Campbell is an Ambassador for Elephant Family and has taken part in their amazingly creative campaigns since 2010.

Rebecca’s egg design will represent the 1960s.
