Michelle thought this scene was not only a stunning NZ landscape but also contained a bit of humour with the kiwi long-drop securely wired down. Ball Hut stands beside a steep moraine wall and is subject to avalanches and has been rebuilt numerous times. With breathtaking views towards the Tasman Glacier, Ball Hut is a remarkable place to stay.

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.
