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.

I look at your work and escape to another world! Your art is amazing. I want to look at it daily.

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 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
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 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 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
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.

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!

Self Love

This painting began as a collaborate effort with the brave people who stopped by to help me out at the last FosterMAK show.

One of my favourite things about painting live is encouraging people to use a paintbrush, especially the ones who say, “You don’t want me… I will ruin your painting!

But the best thing, by far, is sharing the canvas with children who fully embrace the title of ARTIST. There are many elements of this painting that were done by the children who helped me out that day, just as much of my art is created by the child within me.

“Self Love”, 24″ x 24″, acrylic on cradled wood panel, $720. Purchase here.

I think a lot about life and why I’m here. A recent death in the one of my communities has me contemplating this more than usual. The conclusion I am quickly coming to is that I am here to experience the physical world: through emotion, through connection, and especially, through this home that is my body. It guides me to dance, to experience pleasure and pain to my fullest, and today, to paint. I will keep following my body’s cues.

“Spring”, 6″ x 6″, acrylic on canvas. $160.

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.

Pay What You Want!

It’s #tbt and time to PAY WHAT YOU WANT!

I used to feel there was something missing from my art – the feeling of wild, carefree fun and play. Now I can see that it’s not so much that there was something lacking, but that I just hadn’t tapped into it yet. My older paintings show another side of me: the controlled, organized, methodical nature in me, but I think the colours give a hint to my other parts.

1. Today only, send me a message telling me about how you have changed in the past four years.

2. What is your offer? (Shipping and handling are extra).

3. I will contact you tomorrow!

“New Day”, acrylic on paper, 18 x 26 cm, Feb. 2010.
