Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions.
A native of Philadelphia, Bill Bell is a completely self taught artist who took up painting full-time in 1982 after a successful career as a musician and record company executive. Working in brilliant acrylics, he creates richly detailed and visually complex scenes based on memories and impressions of people, pets, events, and dreams that have shaped his life. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting. For Bill, painting is a compulsion, it is also my fun, my therapy, and my challenge.
