Here’s the gist...

I'm Bella, you know this.
Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. I've traveled a ton and spent a couple years in Colorado for schooling, but I'm Missouri folk through and through.

I make things. Moving fluidly between art and design is important to me. That said, the two should be understood and respected as separate entities as well.
Making more things. I want to honor my ideas and creativity to the best of my ability, and through that I want to encourage others to do the same. Creating builds courage, courage builds confidence, confidence fuels creativity which fosters communication, ultimately leading to us to a greater connection with ourselves and each other.

I make work and learning fun. Actual fun. I'm able to do that because I put a lot of care and effort into my personal practice. As a result, I'm easily able to bring that care and effort into other endeavors, leaving room for an appropriate amount of unseriousness.
This should clear things up.

There is an inherent rhythm within all living things. In my practice, the soul keeps the body's rhythm, the rhythm being something innate that connects us to ourselves and each other. It is universal, necessary, uncompromising, and chronic. What I create is in constant and direct dialogue with that rhythm, in conjunction with many other aspects of the self. Through an ever evolving combination of personal somatic practices and electronic and time-based media, I attempt to explore these themes. It is important to note that, naturally, anything chronic brings suffering. I am not here to deny that giving up can feel good. There is a release there. I am simply suggesting that connection might feel better.
