Original artwork description:

Butterfly Gum Study is a vibrant and expressive work on paper that blends organic inspiration with deliberate repetition. Built on a rich multicoloured background, the piece features an overlay of gold patterns inspired by the delicate symmetry of butterfly wings. This shimmering motif dances across the surface, creating movement and contrast against the textured underlayers. Butterfly Gum Study is a joyful celebration of pattern, colour, and the quiet beauty of repetition - an artwork that rewards close looking and invites contemplation.

About the Artist:
Jennifer Bell’s artwork is an invitation to step into a world of colour, pattern and intricate detail. An Australian based artist with over 30 years of studio practice, her career has spanned gallery ownership and a pioneering online presence that has connected her with collectors in more than 70 countries.

Her unique vision is shaped by Visual Snow Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that overlays her sight with constant movement, pattern and light. Rather than being a barrier, this heightened perception fuels her creativity, translating into paintings and mixed media works alive with rhythm and vibrancy.

Bell’s work has been recognised in both Australian and international art awards and is held in collections worldwide. Whether large-scale abstracts, detailed works on paper or contemporary mixed media, each piece reflects her fascination with repetition, texture and the endless possibilities of colour.
