My name is Belinda and welcome to my website. I am an artist based in Sydney, Australia, with a focus on watercolour painting and drawing. I have completed two months of art foundation training, focusing on drawing skills and watercolour painting at The University of Sydney. Upon completion, I received an attendance certificate for each module. In 2021, I completed a six-month course in Postwar Abstract Painting, which involved graded assignments. I successfully passed and was awarded a certificate from The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
I am dedicated to furthering my education and training in the arts by visiting galleries, learning from the masters, practicing regularly, and connecting with other artists.
All, of my paintings are created with professional brands and high quality materials. Through my work, I draw inspiration from the land and sea to create wonderful watercolour pieces. Each painting captures a fleeting moment in time, offering a glimpse of the world as I see it.
I love creating abstract artworks that resemble geographical lines relating to land and the sea, playing with line, colour and texture. I use a geometrical compositions in my abstract watercolours. In addition, I love creating traditional style paintings of seascapes. Most of my artworks are related to the sea, I add some detail to my seascapes like boathouses, birds and boats.
Unfortunately, I do not engage in social media with my art because of other commitments. However, I sell paintings online, I donate to charities and I exhibit at prestigious galleries around Sydney. I hope my art speaks for itself and connects with you on a personal level bringing peace and joy into your life. I am currently studying a few courses online at universities in art therapy, other courses related to the health industry and the arts.
