Michelle Bellamy

“After travelling along an almost endless, dusty gravel road the landscape spits you out at a little fishing hamlet. Overlooking Falls Dam, the little fisherman huts are very basic, a shelter from the weather and not much else. This one, alone and a little more neglected this time stood out in front of the impressive Hawkdun Range. The Hawkdun Range is part of the Oteake Conservation Park and can be summited via Mt Ida, 1690m.”

Michelle Bellamy is a contemporary painter living in Nelson, specialising in capturing the New Zealand landscape with exquisite detail.

An avid mountaineer, Bellamy takes inspiration from exploring the corners and nooks of New Zealand’s lakes and surrounding inhabited landscapes. Back in the studio she creates meticulously detailed large and mid-scale paintings in acrylic on board. Her captivating geographic representations register and acknowledge a human presence on the landscape through the inclusion of familiar features such as South Island cribs and huts, set amongst exquisitely rendered tussock grasses and native flora. Bellamy’s precision brushwork and skilful layering of colour serves to intensify the clarity of New Zealand’s natural light and beauty.
