Len and Heather Bell
Baltimore, Md.
In an old house in Baltimore, all covered with vines lives a family of artists who like to design ...
Loime Studios is comprised of husband and father Len, wife and mother Heather, and up and coming artists Liam and Norá.
An upstairs studio hosts the textiles room where Heather creates unique garments primarily from upcycled materials, while the downstairs studio looks more like a library as Len draws inspiration from the written word for his illustrations and illuminations. Liam developed a talent for drawing early on, but continues to develop interests in the many other facets of art he encounters in the home - from carving gourds, paper mache, clay molding, gardening, sewing and knitting, while sharing a common interest in the performing arts with Norá, whose path into the arts seems to lie somewhere between extreme fashion and aerial acrobatics.
