Vi Bell is a mixed media artist specializing in still life and landscape painting, focusing on the beauty of everyday objects through texture, light, and form. A graduate of the Limerick School of Art and Design, she brings a distinct and intimate approach to materiality.
After a dynamic career in project-based business roles, Bell turned to art as a means to explore the quiet narratives found in stillness. Her work offers a fresh perspective on the ordinary, inviting viewers to discover the vibrant beauty within the familiar.
