About me

Hello, I am Bella gallegos! I am a former student from Ipswich high school. I am beginning my education in animation at Savannah college of art and design and am expected to graduate in 2028. I have been a freelance artist for 5 years and work in digital design, animation, and in fine arts such as painting (murals) participated in local galleries, artisan fairs including the Ipswich homegrown market and have also been creating a mural for the community of Ipswich with the local youth baseball program.

While I have a lot of experience in the fine arts, I am also experienced in the digital arts medium. I find myself working with the mechanics Of animation and including it into my digital drawings, bringing a sense of life and movement into each piece. I have been working and running my own commissions and design freelancing to develop this skill and bring life into each piece. I have worked with a school in the east coast to help support the students in the district and help influence creativity and passion into their program.

I have also had the opportunity to work with other artists in the Massachusetts Northshore community by being a member of the Ipswich art association and working as an assistant to a local artist, Kat Maus Haus located in Beverly, Massachusetts. I have also had the opportunity to work with youth in Ipswich, I spent 3 months as a Teachers Aid, through a program offered through my high school. I worked with 6th,7th and 8th graders and was given the opertunity to develop my own lesson plans and see them through, I had introduced both animation and 3D ceramics to the classes and was able to share something I love so much with a younger audience.
