b. 1993 Elaina Bell grew up in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. She graduated with a BA in English from Boston College. After establishing a career in fashion content strategy, Elaina left the corporate world to establish her own creative business: Studio VVGG. Elaina and Studio VVGG are currently based in Brooklyn, New York.

Elaina has been a studio artist, arguably, since birth. As she grew from art-for-the-refrigerator to art-for-the-walls, Elaina found herself drawn to portraiture. She specializes in finely detailed recreations of people, places, and moments in time. Her 2D work has since grown to include a wide variety of styles, from whimsical doodles to intricate portraits and everything in between.

Elaina got into jewelry design mainly out of frustration: she has a nickel allergy, but couldn’t find jewelry she liked at a reasonable price-point, guaranteed to be wearable. She started purely with beaded, then beaded & pearl jewelry. Now she makes the aforementioned, but also utilizes metal clay to make one-of-one silver designs. Now that they have passed, she uses this artwork as a means to stay connected to that part of her life and honor their memory.

Elaina’s work has been seen in People Magazine, British Vogue, British GQ & other publications. Her work has also been seen on a variety of influencers and celebrities such as Kylie Cantrall, Flyanna Boss, Olivia Ponton, Sara Camposarcone, Sophia Grace & Rosie McClelland.

Elaina also has a sizeable online presence, with over 25K followers combined across her social platforms. She is popular for her videos about pop culture & content strategy.
