Bella is an artist, art educator, designer, and mother based in Midcoast Maine. In her studio practice, she pushes the limitations of color through various methods of representation and abstraction. Through gestural brushstrokes, Bella intentionally highlights the beauty of imperfection created by the human hand.

Her subject matter stems from the everyday world around her. As an avid trail runner and a mother of two small children, she often mixes elements of nature and childlike wonder in her artwork. She is deeply inspired by motherhood and the rural landscape of coastal New England.

Bella works primarily in water-based media, drawing and collage. She also creates mural paintings and has been creating custom wall art for vacation rentals & homes throughout Maine. By creating murals, Bella has had the unique opportunity to stage artwork and style residential units for photographing.

As an art educator, she has worked in a variety of settings including public & private schools, museums, and alternative learning environments. She creates lessons that are process-based and inspired by The Reggio Emilia philosophy of education.
