Wooden Ophelia Coming Soon

Most of you would never know this but when I'm not painting or drawing, I woodwork. Like the time my mom and I built an industrial cathedral library bookshelf or the table in my studio that I use as a 'go to' spot for photographs. So yeah, I'm talking miter saws, jigsaws, drills, sanders...the whole nine yards.

My new online shop Wooden Ophelia is about to launch! *insert hyper reaction* It's a contemporary collection of natural wood and artwork furnishings + crystals and botanicals. Here's tiny taste of what's in store!

ABOUT

Welcome to the wonders of Wooden Ophelia'

Curating a beautifully contemporary collection of natural wood and artwork furnishings, each piece is diligently handcrafted and uniquely different. From conception to completion, I carefully select every aspect of the design to invoke charm and character while bringing something special to your home.

Adorned with crystal and mineral collections, as well as charm vials filled with botanical and herbal remedies individually selected from my garden, each design arrives nurtured by love and made from scratch.

Taking delight in the seemingly magical process of woodworking, the rituals of saw blades, drill bits, and gritty pieces of sandpaper fuse together into a dusty specter among fine wood shavings. It is with continued dedication that I create these one-of-a-kind pieces.

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. In re

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
