Belle Hulne is a practicing printmaker who currently creates her art in the great state of Minnesota. She works in methods far beyond her years, intrigued by the observation of makers that came before her. Belle was taught the art of relief, intaglio, and screen printing processes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2020. Belle has always been fascinated with the natural environments surrounding the places we call home, and in recent years she’s had the pleasure of rekindling a relationship with the expansive Northern Shores of Lake Superior. Belle carves highly rendered observations of critical environments, capturing the exact moment in time she was present to experience the space. The intentionality being to uplift the external spaces we should be protecting and bringing those environments into the residential homes we occupy. With the understanding that we could not exist without the thriving ecosystems we seek to admire and destroy for the sake of convenience and comfort.
