My name is Bella Thomas. I am an acrylic and oil painter from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I studied mathematics at Smith College with a minor in Studio Arts. I specialize in portraiture, using a mix of realism and abstraction to represent people I know well. In my most recent series, "Resemblance to Actual Persons", I explore themes of childhood and the preservation of memory through shrines. I am currently obsessed with the Filipina artist Pacita Abad, and her use of textile, quilting, and mixed media in her work. I am inspired to take my work to the next level with the addition of textile work! Please contact me with questions or for commissions. Mostly everything is for sale. Thanks for visiting my website (made by Isabel). CV: under construction
