Sacred Kingfisher family

Belinda visited art galleries from a young age with her father, where she was exposed to a variety of styles. She has since selected elements that work for her to create her own unique aesthetic; her style is bold, free, spontaneous, and colourful.

Belinda’s work reflects her love of the Australian lifestyle. Her artworks often include kookaburras and other bird life, pet dogs, and sports. Having explored many different art mediums, Belinda currently favours water-mixable oils and watercolours, depending on the surface. She is a long-standing member of the Brisbane Outsider Artists group at Access Arts.

As I walked Toohey forest, light rain was coming down
On and off, turning the ground to a darker brown
The bush had lots of plants springing
And birds that were hiding behind, still singing
I keep a good lookout for my feathery mates
They’re like a colourful animation that illuminates
Towards the end, I stop for a rest
No birds were spotted in their nest
Then suddenly I saw three sacred kingfishers together
Mum and dad feed the fledglings amidst the wet weather.
