Belinda Mason
Belinda lives and paints from her studio in Balclutha, South Otago, New Zealand.
Her art is based on a love of plants and flowers and finding new ways to express this through colour and light. Strongly influenced by the Impressionists, her painting also relates to Bokeh Photography due to its soft and blurred nature.
After years of exploring pastel and watercolour, she started painting in oils, drawn to the creamy textures and the ability to be moved around the surface. This has allowed her to lose the sharp edges and complicated lines of realism, and in its place, leave an impression of the subject that glows in the shadows.
In 2022, she graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Art from Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin School of Art, majoring in painting.
