Bella McGoldrick Past Times For Sale

Bella McGoldrick is an artist originally from New Zealand, raised in Melbourne, and now based in Byron Bay, Australia. She studied fashion design at RMIT, where she began sketching alongside her coursework, and later moved to New York City, where she supported herself by drawing custom portraits and everyday objects on commission.

McGoldrick works primarily in colored pencil and graphite, creating large scale, hyperrealistic drawings of ordinary objects: worn sneakers, crumpled receipts, half eaten food, and other items most people overlook. Her process is entirely hand drawn and largely self-taught, built around close observation and patience rather than photographic reference alone. She is particularly drawn to objects that show signs of wear, viewing that wear as evidence of personal use and memory.

Her work sits at the intersection of fine art and design, and she has built a direct relationship with collectors through her own studio and online platform. McGoldrick's drawings ask viewers to slow down and notice detail: the condensation on a glass, the crease in a fabric, the glint of light on a surface, transforming familiar, disposable objects into something worth holding onto.
