Bel Parsons

Bel Parsons is a self-taught abstract impressionist artist with over 25 years of practice. Her work is an intuitive exploration of emotion raw, reflective and deeply evocative.

Each piece is created as a point of connection, inviting an immediate emotional response. For Bel, art is not just seen, it is felt.

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.

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.

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 holds both a Bachelor of Arts (2000) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology (2021).

Bel has been creating and showing work in Australia and New Zealand for over 25 years.
