“I stumbled across this serene little bay, sheltered from the morning breeze one winter morning. I was visiting Golden Bay for a family holiday with my eye on the scenery. The tide was creeping in, myself and my Father, also a painter were up to our undies in freezing water photographing the beautiful reflections cast by the boats moored”. – 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.
