Fara Bell

Biography

Flowers are clearly Fara Bell's source of inspiration. A fresh bouquet adorns her worktable each day and her flower gardens are in easy view of her studio windows. When not busy painting flowers at home, she loves to travel to places with wonderful gardens and especially loves Holland for just that reason.

A native of Tehran, Fara spent her formative years in Iran, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France and then settled in the United States. She studied art in both Shiraz and California.

Fara creates her stunning florals using oil and acrylic on paper and canvas. She describes her style as a "mixture of realism, impressionism and abstract." She is a master of form and design, creating a wonderful flow of color in her paintings. Her versatility of color composition allows for a wide range of treatments to her flowers.
