Artist Jan Campbell lives in County Mayo in West Ireland.

Campbell is an artist that makes little handheld totems, pendants and other mystical figurines out of avocado pits.She carves the seeds when they are still fresh and soft, and allows them to dry and harden into something that looks almost wooden.Campbell’s motifs recall woodland characters in meditative states, surrounded by layered leaves or curling spirals or powerful feminine symbols.

A self taught artis, Jan feels connected to earlier human beings when she practice her carvings.

She improves her skills by instincts and intuition, making each sculpture personal and unique.

There is an earthiness to her carvings that instantly connects her with the world around her.
