Liza Campbell

Liza Campbell (born 24 September 1959) as Lady Elizabeth Campbell, [Darryl Landy. "Lady Elizabeth Campbell" thePeerage.com database. Last edited 23 November 2006. Retrieved 13 August 2007. [http://www.thepeerage.com/p5192.htm#i51911] ] is an artist, calligrapher, columnist and writer, born in the north of Scotland and currently living in London, England. She is the second daughter of Hugh Campbell, 6th Earl Cawdor (1932–1993) by his first wife, the former Cathryn Hinde. She may be the last child of an Earl Cawdor to have been born at Cawdor Castle, erroneously associated with Shakespeare's Macbeth. (Her older sister Lady Emma Campbell was also born there, but her brothers and younger sister were born elsewhere as were the children of the present Earl.)

Campbell was raised in Cawdor Castle during the Sixties, and studied art at Chelsea.

She lived in Mauritius, Kenya (Nairobi) and in Indonesia for some years between 1990 and 1996.

Career

As an artist, Liza Campbell worked in an art gallery, and has had exhibitions of engraved soapstone at All Saints Gallery, Babbington House and the Sladmore Gallery. More recently, she has shown collages at the Michael Naimski Gallery. [Liza Campbell. Biography from personal website. [http://www.madharper.com/liza/biog.html] . Retrieved 13 August 2007]

For four years, from 2000, she wrote a back page column 'Adventures of a Past It Girl' for Harpers & Queen. Her first book, a memoir, called "Title Deeds", was published in June 2006 by Doubleday and is now long-listed for the JR Ackerley award for literary biography.

Family

Campbell was the second of five children, and the second daughter of three daughters. Her parents divorced in 1979 after 22 years of marriage.

In 1990, she married William Robert Charles "Willie" Athill, a big-game fisherman, with whom she lived on a desert island for two years. By that marriage, she has two children, a daughter Storm (b. 1990) and a son Atticus (b. 1992), who are now in their teens. [Darryl Landy. "Lady Elizabeth Campbell" thePeerage.com database. Last edited 23 November 2006. Retrieved 13 August 2007. [http://www.thepeerage.com/p5192.htm#i51911] ] . She is now divorced from Athill, the marriage having broken down in 1993.
