A Brazilian native, proud parent, and founding artist at Patricia Bell Furniture.
Patricia’s one of a kind coffee table series is a conversation piece you’ll find hard to ignore.
Patricia Bell grew up in Brazil before moving to the U.S. in 2017. After visiting America on multiple occasions. She fell in love with this country. and now lives in Marietta, GA above her artist studio where she creates one of a kind, live-edge furniture designed to reconnect people with nature.
Her studio is comprised of a collection of tree stumps and pieces of live-edge wood slabs, which she then turns into carefully curated table tops.
You can feel the peaceful and creative energy in this space from the moment you step foot through the door.
Patricia spends most of her days collecting nature’s treasures as she carefully hand selects seeds, sticks, leaves, rocks etc. to later marry her findings with wood and resin. The epoxy resin Patricia uses to coat and seal her creations is meant to represent water and in it’s composition often resembles that of a river or stream. The process of creating her coffee tables can take months. Lots of time is spent giving new life to a dead tree spared from becoming firewood. Working with wood and epoxy resin as the two main mediums leaves no room for impatience. The drying time between the many layers of poured resin can take a couple of weeks alone but when you see the end result you can understand why the wait and hard work is well worth it.
She has found her life purpose in creating and sharing her hand-crafted furniture with others. Before the start of every new project, she thinks about how she can inspire people through her art. Our environment has a big impact on how we feel on the inside. The thought of beautiful landscapes, the waves of the sea, or walking through a field of flowers can bring us joy, serenity, and comfort. Patricia’s furniture is meant to add harmony, inspire productivity, and connect us with nature in our home and work environment.
Each of Patricia’s projects is marked with a hidden pearl waiting for you to discover, so take a close look when are admiring her work.
