Keefer Bell trained in San Diego and moved to Australia in 1981.[2] She spent five years teaching and working in Tasmania before moving to Perth.[2] Examples of her work, including brooches and jewellery, which are in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston,[3] the National Gallery of Australia,[4] the National Gallery of Victoria,[1] the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences[2] and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[5]
Bell's designs move between forms that reflect her architectural interests and a 'lyrical organic' style, with her particular strength being in making jewellery using hollow forms, combined with emphasis on surface decoration, and an element of implied narrative.[6]
In 2023, Dr Eugenie Keefer Bell was awarded a Life Fellowship of the Australian Institute of Architects in recognition of her 'significant contribution to the advancement of architecture and design'.[7]
