Veronica Bello (b. Caracas) is a Brooklyn–based textile artist who works with pulled-thread lace on printed fabrics, using images from her family archive to approach memory as something volatile and out of reach.
Raised in Mexico City and later in South Florida, her practice complicates the authority of the archive while acknowledging both longing and absence. She received a BFA in Textiles with Honors from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2022. As a student, she was awarded a RISD Museum Global Exchange Scholarship to study material cultures in Oaxaca and received the Barbara L. Kuhlman Fiber Arts Scholarship for her thesis project, Standing on Porous Rock.
She is currently an Artist in Residence at the Textile Arts Center (2025–2026). Bello’s work has been exhibited at SET Art Space in London, and at Minimal Gallery and MAPSpace in New York. Her writing has been featured in Hyperallergic.
