Testimonials:

After seeing your posts as you worked on various pieces, I started thinking about the possibility of purchasing one. Although I was worried that I would end up with buyer's remorse, I finally came to the conclusion that, if your art was that compelling on-line, it would only be more so in person. I decided that I'd combine mom's day/bday/anniversary and give myself something special. My experience was phenomenal! Ultimately, I think your art just makes people happy, which is no small thing.
Elizabeth Scherer
I absolutely do recommend your art to everyone I meet. I'd say to someone interested in buying a painting that "It'll make you happy every day to have a piece or 10 of your art." I love that I can come to your home and buy. That you are warm, friendly and involved with the community. 
Ashley Farris
I had some concerns about buying from you because I have known you for so long and we see each other almost everyday.  If something would have gone wrong, would it have made things uncomfortable between us?  My experience was great.  You really took the time to figure out what I was looking for and I think that the painting suits my family perfectly. I would absolutely recommend you to a friend. Your work is beautiful and your prices are reasonable.
Keri
Purchasing online was really easy and your communication with me regarding the status of my purchase including shipping was really good. As soon as I opened the box, I was extremely pleased that I had decided to take a chance and buy it. Both of the paintings I have purchased hang in my office. Almost everyone has something to say or notices something different about them -- the folks from our fine arts division especially.
Elizabeth Scherer
I was looking for art that would make me smile when I looked at it. I love the style of your painting. I love the abstract designs and the depth and the layers. I love that I could spend months looking at it and discover new things in it that I never saw before. But most of all I LOVE how vibrant your paintings are.
Keri
I look at your work and escape to another world! Your art is amazing. I want to look at it daily.
Debbie
Your art just speaks to me. Its like a song sung straight to my heart. Do I have enough wall space for everything I want?!! May need to take up a second job for my art addiction.  I give people art tours when they come to my home. I just love you!!!
Ashley Farris
I am thrilled to see the pieces I got from you today on my own wall. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent so generously. Who knew that painting as a way of healing could result in such an explosion of life and happiness... I wish you strength and success. (And I have fantasies of you painting every single wall in my house.)

I was looking for whimsical, freedom, colour, play and inspiration in art. My experience with Belinda's art is incredible. You are very talented, there is such raw emotion, play and beauty in your art, and you are an incredible free spirit and beautiful soul.

My daughter LOVES your art, she is inspired by it and it makes her smile when she sees it - as do I. Organizing our drops offs without Aubrey seeing is always fun. I would say to someone considering buying Belinda's art: Do something right now that makes your heart smile.

Free Permission to Play sessions!

By Filed Under: Classes, Painting Tagged With: , , , , ,

Yes, you read that right! I will be offering 11 free 1-hour sessions! Just send me a message telling me what you hope to get from the session, and one thing you can do today to let your spirit play!

What is Permission to Play?

I know some people want specifics, and they are difficult to give when there are so many possibilities!

We will create together. This may include one, some, or any of the following: drawing, painting, dancing, talking, moving, singing, laughing, writing, experimenting, trying new things, and other things I probably haven’t thought of yet.

You will be seen. You will be heard. You will have full permission to be yourself, to create yourself.

This is for you if:
You want to be creative but you’re not sure where to begin.
You want to paint or draw, but still tell yourself you can’t.
You want to express, create, and play, but tell yourself you don’t have time, or there are better things to do.
You want to express yourself, to be heard, and you want someone to listen.

Great news!! I am one of the teachers for Wanderlust 2018! I was so excited when I was asked, and even though I was a little scared and unsure about my ability to create a decent video (oh, that pesky perfectionism), I jumped in and said yes! I really do love taking on challenges, because I feel so amazing when I am able to figure things out, and learn a new skill. Who doesn’t love feeling amazing?

Would you like to paint/dance/write/draw or create with a greater sense of connection to yourself and your creative source? Have you always wanted to create, but have been unsure of where to place your first steps? Are you one of those people who says, “I can’t draw”, or “I can’t paint”? Maybe you’re an experienced artist feeling blocked or stale or stuck somehow? Are you craving an opportunity to boost your creative flow?

Join me for a one-day immersion in my Play with Paint! process. We will use painting, writing, drawing, and more to drop into working with the abundant creative source that is already within you.

This workshop will include:

all art supplies
potluck lunch
a safe and supportive space in which to create
lots of love and fun!

What to bring:

an apron or clothes that can get painted
an item for our shared meal and snacks throughout the day (please inform me of any allergies or food sensitivities you have (along with the level of severity).
water bottle
any art supplies or sketchbooks you enjoy using
your curiosity
wonderful, beautiful you!

Where: My home studio in Springbank Hill, SW Calgary, near Westhills.

“Art and community are two very important things, and so often in our day to day lives, we just don’t get enough. Spending time with Belinda and a community of lovely ladies for the sole purpose of expressing our creativity was like a breath of fresh air. Tapping into a part of myself that’s often overlooked and neglected reminded me of how fun and nourishing it can be to just play. I would recommend a workshop with Belinda if you’re feeling creatively stifled, a little stuck in life, or just needing some fresh perspective. It’s fun and Belinda guides you through any emotions or questions that may come up for you throughout the process. I left feeling a little lighter, and a lot more creative!” – Lana

“Belinda has an energy about her that draws you in…coupled with her obvious enthusiasm about art and dance, the outcome is magical. I found myself motivated, restored and ready to take on more creative projects!” – Christy

If you have any questions about the Play with Paint! workshop or process, please don’t hesitate to connect with me.
I look forward to experiencing your creative curiosity!
With love,
Bel
