Robin Bell began photography after a broken back left her isolated in a small rural community. On her solitary walking regimen, she came to an old sea captain's house, bought her first camera and created a project to shoot the abstract reflections off the old windows. There, she created a solitary rehab regimen of daily walks. She got as far as a sea captains house with the old windows. The walks to the house to photograph the windows led to her recovery.
Bell is now based in New York City and Block Island, Rhode Island. She had a recent 2-year stint in Los Angeles. Whether exploring a New England farmhouse window, a Los Angeles pool, or digital abstractions of junk, her work is about the change of images with light and the individual experience from abstract color and shape.
Her work has been exhibited, among others, in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Ventura, Kansas City and Portland, Oregon. She was awarded a place in the juried group show at the Los Angeles Center of Photography Annual Street Photography Competition as well as a solo exhibition for the juried Rhode Island Council of the Arts competition.
Bell studied at the International Center of Photography in New York, the Los Angeles Center of Photography, and the Griffin Museum of Photography in Massachusetts.
On Block Island, she created and taught free community photoshop courses and developed outreach and exhibition initiatives for new island artists.
