Roberley Bell (Pelham, MA)

Artful Seating Sculpture

Born in Greenfield Massachusetts, Bell received a BFA from University of Massachusetts and an MFA from the State University of New York College of Ceramics. She maintained a studio in Holyoke, MA. Bell’s work centers on the production of sculpture and site-specific public projects.

Inspired by nature, Bell’s practice draws on the world around her, in particular the observation of nature and the built environment. Bell’s sculptures are embedded in the formal language of spatial composition. color, contrasting material, textures and distinctive form are all at play -straddling the space between representation and abstraction.

Bell has been awarded many fellowships including the New York Foundation for the Arts, a Pollock Krasner Fellowship, and a Senior Scholar Fulbright to Turkey.
