She carves her image into a woodblock, paints the block, dampens it and pulls a single print, and repaints the block afterwards, so that each image yields both a print and a painted block. This monograph, edited by her husband Peter Crayford, was published by Public Pictures in October 2008 and is the first full survey of her work, covering interiors, still lifes, bush scenes, harbour views and gardens. The first printing of 2,000 copies sold out before Christmas 2008, and a second printing of 2,000 followed in March 2009 and also sold out. Janet McKenzie, reviewing it in \u003cem\u003eStudio International\u003c\/em\u003e, praised its production, printed at Tien Wah Press in Singapore. Campbell was the subject of a major survey at the National Gallery of Australia in 2022–23.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecond edition.
