About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Lucy Bell is an artist and illustrator based in Northern California. She is primarily a painter but also utilizes textiles and clay to convey her ideas. These mediums allow for varying degrees of luminosity, softness, and fragility to manifest in each piece. After receiving her BFA from UC San Diego, Bell’s work has been published internationally and throughout the US. She has had work shown along the West Coast, notably San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and San Diego.
Bell's work is focused on blending folklore and religion with her own memory to create a surreal personal mythology. She is specifically interested in the historical connections between Christianity with tarot cards, other picture cards, and Paganism and how they interact in the modern day. Using these historical connections, combined with her own experiences and religious history, Bell is able to create an imagined mythological world. It is important to her to make representational work to be a part of a lineage of religious and folk art.
