 Michael Bell

(American, b. 1959)

I was born and raised in Torrance, California. I had an idyllic childhood in what was once a small pacific coast beach town with miles of open fields. In my twenties I moved to Los Angeles and in 2002 I relocated to Palm Desert, where I currently reside. 

I have been painting since I was a teenager though not professionally. I began taking it more seriously after I graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Music/Composition in 1982. During the 1980’s I painted mostly abstract works; during the 1990’s I became more interested in realism, portraiture and landscapes.

Since 2020 I have been working with oil paints and palette knives exclusively. I paint on canvas, linen and gesso-treated masonite.
