Aurora

▲Bella Harris Artwork▲
Aurora- 20 x 24 oil on pine panel

As some of you may know, I began drawing last year when I spotted a Jeffrey Campbell + Akira contest and played on the notion that maybe I could design a shoe and develop an innovative voice in the universe.  So that's exactly what I did, and it really initiated a profound realization for my artistic expression.  I've only been painting for the last three months, and your feedback is truly compelling and appreciated. I love it! With that said, here's a little preview of one of the paintings I've been working on... can't wait to share the rest of her.

Behind the name.
Aurora:  a phenomenon occurring in the night sky around the polar regions, caused by atmospheric gases interacting with solar particles to create streamers, folds, or arches of colored light.

Why is everyone calling this painting a drawing? It's oil paint. I love it! A new favorite from the gorgeous Bella... *kiss*

So beautiful- I just love this so much. You are very special. I also totally agree with that comment- it is not a drawing- it's oil paint!

It's hard to believe you've only been painting for 3 months...your technique looks like you've been doing it for years. I guess you always had a latent painter in you waiting to come out.

The Body

You can barely see it in the last post , so here's a clearer picture of   what I've been working on in my new art studio... not that it hasn't come with little stop your heart stress moments.   The first time I attempted this piece, now referred to as The Body , was mutually as terrifying as it was exhilarating. It was the first full hand drawing I'd ever attempted, and everything was going smoothly until the moment I decided to incorporate oil paint, also the first in my artwork experiences. My grandmother was an award-winning artist, but now, without her wealth of knowledge and go-to advise, this is really a learning/teach yourself process. The drawing was done and exactly how I wanted it, the hair and tights were painted, and the final stages involved adding skin and the completion of the tattoos.   I didn't go in naively, I understood that it would inevitably boil down to the dynamics of trial and error, so I inhaled deeply and began creating my palette.

Designs by Bella: Vintage Lollipops x Magazzini del Sale Capsule Collection

Last year, Italian designer Graziano Moro of Magazzini Del Sale contacted me about collaborating and designing a five-piece Limited Edition capsule collection for their SS 11 Love Can Change the World t-shirt line. Having never been given such an incredibly surreal opportunity before, you can imagine my absolute surprise... followed by some sort of psychotic jubilation. At the time, I'd only been drawing for about a month, which means the designs you're seeing are some of my very first artworks! Brainstorming endless possibilities, the process began with a series of sketches, clipart graphics, and silhouette collages until I further conceptualized the vision by deciding to submit only my illustrations.  After presenting numerous options, Graziano and the team exclusively selected their top picks... and after several months of diligence, reworking, and constant communication, my artwork was transformed into a beautiful line of ecru shirts forever deemed, Vintage Lollipops x M
