Biography
painter and embroiderer, was a daughter of Edward Bell and Anne, née Bond, of Yorkshire, England. In 1879 a 'Miss Bell’ had two 'crayon’ (pastel) landscapes in the Launceston Fine Art Exhibition, sent in by W.T. Bell, i.e. no.10 crayon – Landscape – Miss Bell – W.T. Bell (exhibitor); no.12 crayon – Landscape – Miss Bell – W.T. Bell (exhibitor). Early in 1880, Helen Bell was living with her married sister, Clara Jane (Mrs Charles Henry Leake), of Rosedale, Tasmania, when a bazaar was held at nearby Campbell Town in aid of the hospital. The Mercury reporter was 'particularly attracted by some specimens of native flowers painted by Miss Bell on a gipsy table, and bracket and markers, the native berries, fuschia, ferns, tea tree, etc., being so artistically rendered.’ Her stall made £9.9.7. She was living with the Leakes at Hobart in February 1883 when she exhibited in the Tasmanian Juvenile and Industrial Exhibition. The painted table she showed then was apparently a new work, being quite different in form and decoration to the above description. This entry is a stub.
