"Often called "The Land of far Horizons ", Northumberland also has light

which enhances the tactile quality of   both its Coast & countryside.

These landscapes  are  a constant source of  fascination & inspiration for my work"                                                                                          - Mike Bell  

                                          

Artist Bio:

Mike Bell has been inspired by thirty years living and working on the Northumberland coast and the wilds of Redesdal, near Scottish Borders.  Fascinating by patterns of sand on beach, piles of seaweed/driftwood, order and chaos together.  The images Mike creates use a wide range of materials: sand, soil, coal dust, driftwood are often embedded in the painting surface.  His work has been exhibited in many galleries internationally.
