"Impressions of an Iris" Art Print by Barbara Bell
Not sure which printing style to choose?
I painted this iris in honor of my mother, who always loved them. I appreciate their frills and showy beauty. We had blue and purple irises in our gardens when I was a child, so this color combination seems iconic to me.

Meet the Artist: Barbara Bell
Barbara Bell is a queer, disabled scientist and artist who grew up doodling in the margins of every piece of paper put before her. She is primarily a self-taught artist, though she had the privilege of taking a bioillustration class while in graduate school for biological science studies. During that class, she fell in love with stippling: the art of creating patterns with tiny dots. She was delighted to discover bioillustration, because it combined her two loves: science and art. Barbara works primarily in pencil, pen and acrylic paint.
Barbara’s artwork reflects her deep connection with nature, particularly cold-blooded animals. She enjoys creating art that reflects the essence of her subject while balancing realism with a soft touch of artistic license. She hopes that her art will spark an appreciation for her often-unappreciated subjects in its viewers.
