Girls Bedroom Mural by Belinda Stone in Mentone

Belinda Stone uses inspiration from open spaces in nature to paint landscapes and abstract pieces. Using texture and multi-layering techniques, she creates depth in her paintings and a feeling of openness. Her detail to colour choices, composition and blending gives the viewer a feeling of calm and peace. Her paintings reflect the enjoyment and fun she has whilst creating them. She exhibits and has painted at live painting performances. "I love escaping to the countryside where I can hear the ocean or birds without the sounds of traffic and chaos. I am fascinated by the feelings that open spaces give me. It's as if I can breathe easier and think clearer. It's a feeling of freedom. I convert the feeling of freedom onto a canvas and feel so happy when others enjoy what I do so passionately ". Melbourne, Australia Personal website and Instagram
