My name is Samantha Bell, and over the past thirty years I’ve been a fine artist, art and writing teacher, children’s book writer and illustrator, and homeschooling parent. I’ve taught art classes at many different venues, including libraries, state parks, craft stores, and a children’s museum.
Ever since I was little, I’ve enjoyed creating art. My favorite thing to draw or paint: animals and wildlife! Most of my artwork is realistic in style, so pets make ideal subjects. I especially enjoy the challenge of capturing their personality — something I hope you can see if I paint a portrait of your pet!
You can find examples of my art on Instagram. You can also find me online on my author/illustrator site and my free art lessons site.
