The Kahurangi National Park is the second largest national park in New Zealand and holds some of the most diverse and spectacular scenery. From remote beaches that appear topical, to wild rivers, caves, stunning mountain rock formations and beautiful tarns within the high basins. The area is also home to wide range of wildlife from interesting plants, rare native birds to the largest snail in the world the Powelliphanta.
Lake Sylvester is nestled above the Cobb Reservoir at 1325m above sea level and these two tarns are situated alone to the south east of the lake.

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.
