Brain scientists in Britain
measure increased happiness levels in people while they are looking at beautiful art. Test
the new discovery for yourself.
Artist Ann Bell welcomes
visitors to her studio Saturday December 10 between noon and 5 PM to experience the
light-filled studio where she makes her art, to view the art and to enjoy the music that
inspires her. A visit to the artist's studio offers a more intimate view of the artist
than a gallery visit ever could. It's an opportunity to connect directly with the artist
and view the range of her styles. Those who attend will have the opportunity to ask Bell
questions and view her latest artistic creations. Many original paintings and cards
are priced to encourage artistic indulgences and creative gifts. Gift certificates
are available for private lessons, classes and art.
Because Ann Bell believes
that art is as essential to life as water or air, and she wants to share her art with
others, she opens her studio periodically. "Art enhances our lives. It
opens doors to our imagination and our creativity, whether we are making art or viewing
it," declares Bell. "Everyone needs opportunities to experience art. Art feeds
our souls."
"I
call my work “mixed media” to emphasize that my materials are unrestricted.
I’m inspired by nature, memories and my imagination. Imagination is the most
important element. I love color and pattern. I use acrylic paints, oil pastels and any
tool I feel will best capture my vision. I love using collage, my hand-carved stamps and a
variety of stencils and found objects as stencils, masks, & printing elements."
About her paintings, Bell
observes, "Although I start with the memory of an actual place, while I am painting,
my imagination takes over. The resulting painting captures my feelings about the
place."
Ann Bell is a mixed media
artist, teacher and creativity coach. She has taught hundreds of aspiring artists. She
recently began offering online mixed-media classes. Her paintings can be found in
collections across the United States and in several foreign countries.
In addition to her own
painting and teaching, Ann Bell is active in several Houston art groups, including Women
in the Visual & Literary Arts (WiVLA), where she served four years on the Board of
Directors, and Visual Arts Alliance.
She has demonstrated for
numerous art organizations throughout Houston and the surrounding areas. She teaches a
monthly workshop for girl scouts at the San Jacinto Council on the Southwest Freeway.
Occasionally she is invited to visit a local school as a visiting artist.
She maintains her studio at Art
Square, located in Midtown at 2711 Main St. in the building with Art Supply. She regularly
participates in Midtown Visions Cultural Arts Tour in the spring and Art Square Open
Studios in the fall.
Ann Bell is the author of
the forthcoming book, 101 Ways to Increase Your Creativity, Reduce Your Stress, and Have
More Fun.
Free parking is available in Art Supply parking lot, corner
of Main & Dennis. Ann's studio is #114, at the end of the downstairs hallway. Please
enter the store and ask for Ann. You will be directed to her creative studio.
