Sara Bell has always drawn. As a child, her mother would say, “Go to your room and DRAW something!” when Sara needed a break. She later earned her BFA from the Maryland Institute, College of Art, moved to  Northern California, and had 2 children.

Now, she lives in Western North Carolina and embodies the John Muir quote, “And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul.” She ventures off into the mountains and off the beaten path to find beautiful, peaceful places to sit and draw. This provides her with respite from her main task of caring for her autistic son. Then she can return to the hustle and bustle of her world with a clearer mind and peaceful soul. 

Most recently Sara has been working in a variety of water based mediums to create images combining the beauty of Western North Carolina with her illustrative roots often using the vehicle of trees to express concepts about connection.

Sara says: “ I hope you can look at my images and find yourself reminded of being in the wild places and through that, connect with the natural peace being in the presence of trees can provide.”
