Jill Marleah Bell

Jill Bell is a ceramic artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY.

The principal intent with her sculpture and drawings is to blur an
already thin line between what is regarded as funny and what is
regarded as tragic while using the sparest, most simplistic of forms.

She received her BFA from the Moore College of Art in Philadelphia
and her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University.
