Welcome to the collective home of Outsider Artists. As you stroll through these pages you will find a diverse ensemble of mixed media artists whose creative visions move into and through the deeper, haunting layers of the soul. Drawing from life experiences that have traveled through a colorful palette of emotions, each artist brings her own expression of pain, joy, sorrow, hope, longing, rebirth and redemptive inspiration to her work. From detailed art cards, altered art collage and assemblage to intricate, vintage jewelry and corsets, gentle and moving or edgy and daring...each style is rich and unique. The journey of art making has, for each artist, been a life giving process that has opened a door to her soul and inspired passion and depth in her work. May your visit encourage your heart to look beyond the surface to what moves beneath in the inner landscapes of your own soul.

Michel Thevoz, Curator of the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne has written the following: "outsider art", consists of works produced by people who for various reasons have not been culturally indocrinated or socially conditioned. They are all kinds of dwellers on the fringes of society. Working outside fine art "system" these people have produced, from the depths of their own personalities and for themselves and no one else, works of outstanding originality in concept, subject and techniques. They are works which owe nothing to tradition or fashion.
Great job Bella!
