According to her website, she has been drawing "ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen."

While her preferred medium for most of her life has been pen and paper, she has recently been dabbling into digital art, describing the transition as "a bit of a game changer."

In addition to creating original artwork, Bella offers graphic tote bags, limited-edition prints, T-shirts, and quirky pins for purchase, showcasing her versatility as an artist.

Bella Kidman Cruise chooses to live away from Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise's spotlight

Bella Kidman Cruise was adopted by Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise shortly after her birth in 1992. 

"From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies," the 'Eyes Wide Shut' actress told Vanity Fair in 2013. "And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that's when we would adopt [our daughter] Bella."

The couple went on to adopt a son, Connor Cruise, now 29, in 1995.

Despite their parents’ fame, both siblings have chosen lives away from the limelight.

However, their deep connection to the Church of Scientology, a faith championed by their father, remains a prominent part of their identity.

The 'Babygirl' actress, who holds different religious beliefs, has always supported her children’s choices.

"They are able to make their own decisions," she told Who magazine in 2018. "They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them."

Although Kidman and Cruise ended their marriage in 2001, the actress emphasized in past interviews that their children were raised with love and strong values.

Speaking to The Weekly in 2014, she described Bella and Connor as "generous, kind, and hardworking," adding that "these are traits that I love to see in my children."
