Haley A Bell
What's been going on in your world and circles lately?
Everything has been pretty quiet for me in the past year or so with the pandemic but I’ve mostly taken this time to focus on myself and my art and where I want that to go in the future but luckily have had the opportunity for a couple gallery openings in that time also
Anything in particular you've been working on?
I’m currently working on a portfolio for a tattoo apprenticeship other than that I’ve been working more on developing different techniques in my ink drawings that I haven’t done before even though I’ve been working with ink since 2013
Other projects you see happening around that are cool?
I see a lot of stuff on Instagram with a lot of local artists works in progress or small events happening and I really enjoy that and just knowing that everyone is working on something of their own
Future thing you are looking forward to?
Currently just being able to work on new projects and expanding my subject matter/ skills and being able to work with galleries again after a year long break due to covid
Favorite bands / albums lately?
Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of random music just whatever fits the mood nothing in particular, podcasts tho I’ve been listening to “not just a girl” which is a feminist tattoo podcast that I really enjoy
Visual artists (or whatever people) you've been digging lately?
@chelsartistry (Rachel stout) and @racoonpaws (Natalie Schultz) on instagram have been killing it lately with their work as well as Juuri (@juuriart83) I’ve always admired her symbolism and mural work
Links to anything you're involved in and/or you want to share?
YES! I’m currently in a exhibition at DNA galleries in the plaza district with @laurenrosenfeltart and @tcryoungart on instagram from April 8th- May 9th and then have an upcoming exhibition at the paseo plunge with some friends (more info on that closer to august) but it’s super exciting working with more local artists and doing group exhibitions instead of solos for a change
