Mark "Marco" Bell was born and raised in Sarasota, FL and received his BFA in 1976 from the esteemed Ringling College of Art and Design. Post-graduation Marco became an art director in product manufacturing until a freelance mural job made him realize how much he missed painting. Monica Spain grew up in South Florida and received her BFA from Atlanta College of Art in 1978, after which she worked in advertising. Yearning to expand her painting skills, an opportunity to paint murals in Sarasota presented itself in 1997. The move led to meeting and marrying fellow artist and muralist Marco Bell in 2000. Together, the pair created Bella Arte Studio in 2005.
