“His reflections are fantastic. His brush is alive,
specifically the strength of the light with which
he gives life to each painting. The combination
of brush and palette strokes are unique and
are barely visible. His canvasses are full of
strength and emotion.” These are the words of
a European art critic describing the works of
Peter Bell.
Born in 1969 in Washington, DC, Peter Bell
began drawing and painting in grammar
school. After US Navy service, he attended the
Brooklyn Museum Art School and the National
Art School in Washington DC.
His career began as a professional backdrop
and poster painter for a department store
chain. He also illustrated booklets and
brochures for them. Finally after working many
years as a commercial artist in Washington &
as a free lance artist in southern Georgia, he
built himself a comfortable studio in Florida &
settled down to a life of painting and
teaching.
He is represented in many private collections
and his showings of paintings of scenes from his
numerous trips abroad have brought him
several awards and ribbons.
