Contemporary Fine Artist, Christine Bell | @ChristineBell.Art

Contemporary Artist, Christine Bell is a highly collected, Professional Fine Artist, who is known for her textured, minimalistic, Coastal Abstract Paintings as well as her Modern Impressionistic Seascape Paintings, Landscapes, and Florals. Christine is consistently commissioned by top Interior Designers, to paint custom, commissioned paintings to be displayed in their clients' homes or office spaces. Her work has been purchased by many high-end hospitality spaces; resorts, hotels, and spas. She is courted by high end Art Galleries for shows, and is one of the largest selling US Artists over the past decade+ in the online gallery space. With a large online presence, she is frequently contacted to be an Art Consultant for Interior Designers' Projects and provide mentoring for Emerging Artists. Where many artists are trained in one genre or subject, Christine reveals that she feels her mind needs to paint what she is drawn to in any certain moment, be it textures of a stone, the roll of ocean waves, or the sunlight playing off the trees and grasses. She intuitively knows that she cannot limit herself and is constantly exploring new subjects, media, and techniques. Christine’s mission with her artwork is to allow the viewer a moment to step out of our sometimes chaotic, "over-technological" and overwhelming lives into a mindset of peace, calm, and what truly matters in life – loving one another and experiencing the beauty of captured moments in time within the natural world.

Painting moments

Christine holds a Master of Arts Degree and enjoys continuing her knowledge by taking further University courses in Art History and History. Christine works from her artist studio in beautiful Southern California where she is inspired by the beautiful landscapes and ocean. She understands that the most precious experiences can be fleeting moments: the light at sunrise, gentle waves rolling over toes, the breeze gently blowing wildflowers... It is these fleeting impressions of a moment, or color, or light that she lays down on canvas. She sees her life as a painter as a journey - one where she is constantly developing, improving, and evolving her mind, as well as her painting techniques and skills. This humble state of constant learning enables her to remain true and authentic, and to be free to explore and paint a variety of subject matters instead of limiting herself to a single genre.

Throughout life Christine has always been passionate about art, nature, travel, and history. These passions, such as her travel to experience different cultures, environments, and view many of the most renowned art masterpieces in the world, has had great influence on her painting, and repeatedly instills in her an appreciation for beauty in the world and has embedded in her
a love of continuous learning and growth. She aims to follow her heart when beginning a new painting, and to create based on what she has found to inspire her in the moment. Her hope is that the subjective viewer sees her Original Paintings and Giclee Prints as art that will stir an emotion, elicit a past memory, or simply bring a genuine smile to their face.

A Thank You

Christine deeply appreciates her collectors and would like to personally THANK each one!

"When you collect ART from the ACTUAL ARTIST, you are supporting an actual person. She or he is an ARTIST who has developed their skills, techniques and talents over years and decades. Collecting Art from the actual Artist, (vs. a big box venue), provides the Artist with the means to not only continue to develop their craft, but you support the Artist's Partners,
Assistants, and their families... you put food on tables, shelter over children's heads, you keep the lights on, and you send children to college. I want to give the biggest heartfelt THANK YOU to all of my loyal collectors for their support over the years. Stay tuned! There is more to come..." ~ Christine
