A native of Philadelphia, Bill Bell is a completely self taught artist who took up painting full-time in 1982 after a successful career as a musician and record company executive. For Bill, painting is a compulsion, it is also my fun, my therapy, and my challenge. Working in brilliant acrylics, he creates richly detailed and visually complex scenes based on memories and impressions of people, pets, events, and dreams that have shaped his life. His unique and enchanting designs have been reproduced as prints, posters, greeting cards, T shirts, puzzles, childrens books, album covers and several series of collectors plates for the Franklin Mint.

Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
