“On a trip exploring the south, myself and my husband came across Falls Dam, a quaint seemingly abandoned little fishing village. It was a warm summers day, with dry windblown grass. A few of the huts captured my attention, in particular this little one with the bright green roof and fireplace. A cosy but probably quite drafty shelter in the winter”. – Michelle Bellamy

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.
