Artist Resume

Judy-Joy Bell

 

 

I was born in the seaside township of Kawakawa, in the North Island of New Zealand, and raised in a farming community.  I am passionate about life, and I see beauty everywhere, in all things.   Creating art is a big part of my passion, and I have been painting and drawing all my life.

 

I migrated to Queensland in 1986, to the coastal city of Brisbane.  I developed a love for the ocean in my adult life, in New Zealand, and started painting marine art, full time, in Brisbane.  I also paint a variety of other subjects,  animals, landscapes, florals, portraiture and architecture.

 I paint primarily in Oils, watercolours, and acrylics, love sketching with charcoal and graphite, and play with pastels from time to time.. 

I have travelled worldwide painting and gathering reference pictures for future paintings, and my artworks are hanging  in private collections in Europe, Asia, USA and Oceania.
