Hello I’m Bel,

Artist, Photographer, obsessive tea drinker, crafter, lover of nature and a busy mum. 

My art style has always been ever evolving and i’ve moved through many different ways of expressing myself creatively such as Illustration, Typography, Photography and painting.

My drawing style is a distinctive and unique hand-drawn ‘Dotsploration’ style, which is characterised by carefully placed dots to represent shadow, outlines or light areas of tone. Lately I’ve been experimenting also with line work on different surfaces other than paper with the move towards creating bigger and bigger paintings.

My work has been seen in various publications including Computer Arts magazine, Desktop Magazine, Blanket Magazine, CURVY and also in numerous exhibitions throughout the country.

Photography is my second creative professional venture… from around the age of eight I’ve always had a camera close at hand obsessed with capturing the moment. My photography style is focussed on telling a story through the natural moments I see and capture.

When I’m not creating you can find me exploring the many sights of our home city of Melbourne with my gorgeous daughter Ava, getting outdoors in nature with my partner Marty and our blended family, repotting and organising my 40+ indoor plants and just enjoying the busy life of motherhood.

Thank you for visiting!
