Introducing... Belinda Peel
Belinda Peel is a Brisbane based artist currently working with water-based oils, watercolour, textile art and animation. Belinda’s work reflects her love of the Australian lifestyle. Her artworks often include kookaburras and other bird life, pet dogs and sports.
Belinda visited many art galleries from a young age with her father, where she was exposed to a variety of styles. Belinda has since selected elements that work for her to create her own unique aesthetic. Belinda’s artistic style is bold, free, spontaneous and colourful.
In Relaxing After Swimming Belinda has painted herself during time spent at her Mum’s place, semi-wet after completing some laps. She is cuddling Jake the King Charles Cavalier. Belinda has included two of her favourite birds, the Kookaburra, and the Magpie.
Belinda has recently exhibited in a series of exhibitions curated by Access Arts at St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital including Time (2019), Dreams (2020), Earth Footprint (2021), Dancing Colours (2022) and Self-Portrait (2023). She has also exhibited in a series of exhibitions curated by Access Arts at KPMG and Brisbane Powerhouse including Celebrating Difference (2019), Journey to the other side (2020), Visitors (2021), Looking Back, Looking Forward (2022) and Relaxed Frame of Mind (2023). Belinda recently had a solo exhibition at KEPK Gallery titled Surround: From Bush to Bay (2023). Other exhibition highlights include Unaffected and Connected at Redcliffe City Art Gallery, IGNITE: 7 at the Department of Communications and the Arts in Canberra and Paralym Art World Cup in Tokyo.
The artwork will feature on the Public Advocate’s website for 12 months
