Bel Parsons is a self-taught abstract impressionist artist with a practice spanning over 25 years.

Bel creates work that resonates with authenticity, introspection, and expressive power. Her art is a visual exploration of feeling — often raw, sometimes restrained, always deeply evocative.

Favouring oil paint for its richness and texture, Bel also incorporates a variety of mixed media — charcoal, oil stick, acrylic, and pencil — intuitively layering materials to echo the inspiration behind each work. Her creative process is fluid and instinctive, shaped by her emotional response to the moment.

Bel’s background in both Arts and Psychology brings a unique depth to her practice. With a profound understanding of people, she approaches each piece not just as a composition, but as a potential connection point. Her collectors often describe an immediate and powerful emotional resonance with her work — a recognition, a memory, or a feeling that makes the piece unmistakably theirs.

For Bel, art is not just something to be viewed — it’s something to be felt. And her goal is simple: to create work that moves people.
