WELCOME!  

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rebecca (Lewis) Bell is an artist who attended the "Philadelphia College of Art" (now called the "University of the Arts") in Philadelphia during the 1980's. Oil painting is her MAIN medium. Rebecca began painting portraits- first of her own children for fun - which led to commissions by friends (who loved them and begged for paintings of their own) and others over the years.

Rebecca later began painting land & farmscapes due to her love of history. When seeing so many beautiful local farms and fields dissappear to development, it saddened her.  Her family has been in the Bucks County area since the 1700's - so, she felt a great need that the lovely farmscapes she has grown to love be preserved- or at least "honored" by her painting of them.

She also paints paintings of animals- which began with a series of her cat Sammi and has since expanded to farm animals as well. This was inspired by her fascination with the artist "Tasha Tudor" and Tasha's simple country & historic lifestyle....which reminded her in some ways of the "plain" lifestyle of the local Amish  & early settlers here in Pennsylvania.
