Jennifer Bell

Born: 1978

Hometown: Chester

Based in: Brisbane

Jennifer Bell is a contemporary artist based in Australia who brings a unique vision to her art. With a focus on the beauty of the ordinary, her paintings and paper weavings are celebrated for their intricate decoration and eye-catching design. Inspired by her experience with a little-known neuro-ophthalmological condition that causes her to see a continuous veil of patterned dots in her visual field, her work delves into the themes of pattern and perception. Her ability to see the world in a different way is evident in each of her creations.
