Ingrid Bell lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland.

She graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone with an MFA in Art Society and Publics whilst maintaining her psychotherapy practice.

Early in her career she won the prestigious Monbusho Japanese scholarship to study traditional woodblock printmaking at Tama art university in Tokyo, thereafter settling in Copenhagen, Denmark for ten years.

During this time she had her family, continued her own art practice and established the ‘BellFree’ gallery promoting other artists.

A few years of uninterrupted art making in southern Spain provided time for exhibitions back in Copenhagen.

Wishing to return to Britain she was fortunate enough to be awarded several stipends from the Danish government to pursue a diploma in art therapy in Edinburgh.

Ingrid continues to work both as an artist and as an art psychotherapist.
