Timeline

Born and raised in Texas, Belle’s artistic undertakings began when she developed her first black and white photograph at the age of 14. At 18, she headed out west to attend Pitzer College in Claremont, CA; she pursued photography and experimented with other art mediums as well. A summer job at a bead store in eclectic Santa Cruz brought her to jewelry. Soon afterwards she found herself selling stone and metal adornments at the local farmers market in Claremont; an entrepreneurial seed found the sunlight. Belle currently lives, designs, and creates in Los Angeles, CA.
