Bell Art

“Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.”

– Luther Burbank
Bell Art began while Amanda Legovich, the owner, was still in school. Her Mother, Meryl Bell, loved painting Australian wildflowers, honing her skills tirelessly to capture their rich colour, form and beauty as the 17th century Dutch masters she so admired, did. Instead of painted peonies and roses spilling out of vases, her Mum’s paintings showcased her beloved wildflowers.
Her paintings of exquisite detail would each take many months and sometimes years to complete. Back when Meryl was not well known, you couldn’t recover the cost of such paintings, so instead she founded Bell Art with Amanda's father Don, as a more accessible and affordable way for people to enjoy her paintings and the beauty of Australian wildflowers.

They started producing art prints and single cards, which turned into a boxed set for a bigger gift, and they have a nod to that original design featuring her stunning work 'Crimson Gold', that is still a best seller today. It's a testament to the timeless appeal of wildflowers and her talents in capturing them with such grace and botanical accuracy.

Today, Amanda proudly continues her Mother's legacy after her passing. The love and reverence for her paintings has only grown, capturing hearts all around Australia and the world.

A legacy for us all to treasure.

From Australia, made with love.

Bell Art go to great lengths to ensure nearly every product is designed and made in Australia, maintaining a founding value of the company. They support local business and craftspeople (some of which are now almost family!) wherever they can, so you know you are getting a true blue Aussie product, from start to finish. Their approach supports Australia's economy and helps reduce emissions.

Giving back one product at a time.

A key message in sharing the beauty of Australian flora is that of the need to protect its often vulnerable and fragile status. For every Bell Art product you purchase, they donate part proceeds to the Australian Flora Foundation to help foster scientific research on the biology, protection and cultivation of Australian plants.
