Art of Michelle Bellamy Wall/Desk

Michelle Bellamy paints bold, finely detailed landscapes using acrylic paint on board. Her current style is described as 'contemporary realism' and she is drawn to stark and endless landscapes, vast mountainscapes, the calmness of water and the character and simplicity of faded old buildings such as boatsheds, backcountry huts and fishermen's baches.

Art runs in her blood, with a sibling, parents and grandparents who are, or were, artists. While influenced by her parents, Michelle has a style all her own and a deep affection for New Zealand's breathtaking vistas.
