Demarest Campbell
Artist, Writer, and Designer in San Francisco, CA
About the Artist/Author:
Born in New York City, raised in London and Calcutta by an Ancient Great Aunt, the author misspent her youth devouring books on medical and military history, absorbing the Classics, and listening to first-hand tales of the Raj from antique relatives. Each side of her family has a four century history in East India as tea planters, in shipping, and in the military.
A long-time biographee of Marquis Who's Who, she served for thirty-five years as the Charge Scenic Artist of the Tony Award winning American Conservatory Theater and an additional six years as a scenic artist of the San Francisco Opera.
