About the Artist

George William Bell’s work seamlessly blends fine art and design with material investigation at the forefront of the artist’s practice. Based in Monterey, California where he is currently working as the artist-in-residence at Monterey Glassworks, Bell’s work draws from his vast experience learning and working with glass throughout Europe and the United States. Holding American and British citizenship, Bell has lived much of his life in Europe, most recently residing in Denmark.

The artist has been exhibited widely, including the landmark exhibition “New Glass Now” at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York curated by Susie Silbert and “Glass is Tomorrow” touring exhibition in London, Stockholm, and Milan.

Bell holds a Masters of Fine Arts from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and has received numerous awards, including the Stanislav Libensky Award, named for one of the most important artists to ever work in glass.
