Hello ~ I’m Bella St John, and I would like to welcome you! My art has become so much more to me than I could ever have imagined. Not only am I honoured to be a professional artist who brings love and respect to each piece I undertake, but just the thought of a new painting, or continuing to grow and expand by experimenting with different techniques – these are things that bring my soul immense joy.
I have built this website not only to showcase some of my pieces, but also to simply share in the hope that they may bring a smile…
Fine Art Creations by Ms Bella St John
Capturing Legacy, Character, and Soul in Every Stroke
As a devoted artist working mostly in oil pastels, acrylics, and watercolour, I craft soulful, hand-painted works of art that honour the story behind every subject.
A Painting That Lives Beyond the Canvas
My paintings are not merely depictions—they are tributes. Whether it hangs in a family home, a gallery, hotel, office, or public institution, each piece is created to honour the collector’s passion and the subject’s significance.
Commissions: If you don’t LOVE it, you don’t pay for it!
I was watching an art competition program a few months ago when they unveiled the commission. The shock and disappointment on several people’s faces – including the sitter and the institution where the portrait was to hang – was obvious. While it was an interesting work, it was… well… just not what anyone except the artist was really expecting.
I made a decision at that moment that if my clients don’t love what I create, they don’t pay for it – it’s that simple.
At the outset, I will give you an idea of the general style and direction I feel the piece will go, and will base it around the photos you send to me. Once the painting is complete, I will send you several photos of the piece for you to review before completing the purchase to ensure you are happy with the result.
My commission clients to date have always loved their finished pieces, but if for any reason someone doesn’t, they don’t pay for it, and I will simply retain the work.
