Our Story
Intro
We are Bella and Ollie, a brother-and-sister team, originally from Bath UK, known as the Art Dealing Sibling Duo where we offer an online gallery and expert art curation services. United by a shared passion for art, we each bring distinct creative backgrounds and professional expertise to our work.
Our journey has been shaped by dedication, industry experience and mentorship under internationally recognised art dealer and art fair director Cordelia DeFreitas. We were introduced to the public through an up-coming television series exploring the art industry and the world of art dealing, where we gained recognition as credible, emerging art dealers.
This experience, alongside continued mentorship, gave us the confidence to launch our joint venture. Today, we offer a personalised online art gallery and curation service, working closely with clients to source and place artwork for residential interiors, design-led projects and hospitality spaces. We make collecting art accessible, intentional and tailored to every space.
Bella
As a creative entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in the fashion industry, I built and successfully ran my own bespoke streetwear label, defined by expressive design, individuality and bold aesthetic direction. In 2024, I proudly launched my collection at New York Fashion Week - a milestone that reflected both my ambition and commitment to standing out rather than blending in.
I believe in empowering young female entrepreneurs to trust their vision and back their creativity to build something meaningful. Creativity has always been instinctive to me and I have never been afraid to challenge convention through personal style and colour. I bring that same fearless approach to art, where I am drawn to contemporary and abstract works that are bold, expressive and visually powerful. Even in my downtime, I paint as a form of creative escape.
Today, I lead our online art gallery, carefully curating one-of-a-kind contemporary and abstract artworks through close collaborations with our artists. Each piece is selected to create remarkable visual impact and elevate interior spaces whether for private collectors or hospitality spaces seeking distinctive statement art.

My background is in architecture and interior design, with over seven years’ experience shaping refined residential and hospitality spaces. After achieving a BA in Architecture from the University of Nottingham, I spent four years working within leading high-end design studios in London and Bath, delivering thoughtfully curated interiors defined by their detail and aesthetic balance.
Throughout my career, I recognised the transformative power of art within interior design and how often artwork can become an afterthought within this process. The right artwork doesn’t simply fill a wall; it elevates a space, enhances atmosphere and completes the overall design narrative.
My vision is to bridge the gap between interior design and art, where I front and lead our professional art curation service designed to support homeowners, interior designers and hospitality clients in sourcing artwork for their spaces and projects. With a trained architectural eye and a meticulous approach, I work collaboratively to curate cohesive, impactful and meaningful art schemes.
