About Belinda Nolan

Visual Art, through photography and painting, has long been part of my response to understanding light and colour. Since moving to Yuin Country, the Shoalhaven region on the South Coast, over seven years ago from Sydney, this environment with its varied bird life and vegetation, giant boulders and headlands and ever changing ocean and clouds, has allowed me to experience light and colour as a landscape painter and photographer.

This region was dramatically impacted by the Black Summer fires of 2019 and 2020, the floods that followed and the endless months of La Nina's rain in 2022. Through my artworks and writing I have wanted to explore the impact this has had on the environment and its inhabitants, ever aware of Mother Nature's continual attempt to heal and replenish. The mild summers of 2023/24/25 with steady rain and abundant, verdant regrowth in areas once ravished by fires is testament to this.

Since October 2023 I have also been dedicated to further understand the devastation occurring in the Middle East , notably Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon through writing articles and more recently producing artworks as seen in the recent exhibition 'Unlearned Histories' at Tangelo House Gallery in Milton, October. 2026. 

As a qualified writing teacher, who has trained in meditation and the creative arts, I also enjoy researching and writing about how the visual arts and meditation practices interconnect and support each other. If this piques your interest do click on 'Articles' in the above banner. 

I have facilitated community arts courses that focus on writing and the visual arts and have exhibited as a visual artist, both as a painter and photographer and writer of poetry and prose in Sydney and the Shoalhaven region. See 'Exhibitions' in the above banner. Currently some of my artworks are being showcased at Tangelo House Gallery in Milton on the South Coast of NSW.
