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!!!

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
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 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.

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
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.

Voices

By Filed Under: Painting, Rainbows, Studio Tuesday Tagged With: , , , , ,

I really let this painting go in the direction it wanted, and all these little creatures popped up. They remind me that all the voices in my head that are telling me what to do aren’t really my own; they belong to others. My real voice comes from deeper inside my body, and usually it doesn’t speak in words. <3

Today only, this painting is half price!

How Have I Loved Myself Today?

By Filed Under: Painting, Rainbows, Studio Tuesday Tagged With: , , , , ,

How have I loved myself today? I don’t always (let’s be honest – I usually don’t) acknowledge the ways that I am showing up for myself. Today I went to the gym! Yay! My body is being celebrated. Today I painted. Yay! My spirit is having fun!

How have you loved yourself today?

More about the painting or purchase HERE.

I Love You.

By Filed Under: Painting, Studio Tuesday Tagged With: , , , , , ,

When I begin a painting, I start with the intention of having fun, and during the process, I often find myself thinking about the “right” way to paint: this is a sure sign that I have jumped off the fun train and back onto the train of perfection. The perfection track has a deep grooves and it can be difficult to find my way back out. Lately, I have been thinking of my 6-year old self and telling her she is loved. That seems to help a bit.

I Can Do Anything

By Filed Under: Painting, Studio Tuesday Tagged With: , , , ,

I allowed myself to play this morning. I noticed lots of judgements (“not good enough”), and lots of pressure (“this isn’t real art”, and “who would want this?”). But there were also moments of pure enjoyment, relaxation, and fun.

Here’s to feeling the fear and doing it anyways.

Studio Tuesday: Present

"Present", 6" x 9"

“Present”, 6″ x 9″

Last year, I spent a lot of time focusing on my sexuality, both in life and in art; I was able to begin healing so many old shameful stories. One of the biggest lessons for me, as is the case in just about everything I do, is to stay present to what is actually happening for me right now. No need to stop the pleasure, no need to dredge up worry, no need to stay rooted in the past, no need to keep proving that I am unlovable, ugly or undesirable.

How have you begun to heal your sexual shame?

“Present”, watercolour and ink on paper, 6″ x 9″, $120. Purchase here.

Studio Tuesday: I am loved.

I am struggling today with this- feeling loved. I was having a really hard time with this painting, and every time I put on a layer that I thought was a mistake (and yes, I know: no mistakes), I kept putting myself down (pretty sure I called myself fuckface at one point).

Because of this, I feel like an absolute failure at the whole self love thing, which then makes me wonder if I am getting anywhere with it. Maybe I don’t need to get anywhere. My ego keeps me stuck. It keeps me searching outside myself for answers, for love, for permission, for sanity.

So I keep painting to remind myself that I am loved.

“I am loved”, acrylic on canvas, 5″ x 5″ $140.
