By SIMONE KERWIN IT’S no surprise that Belinda Wilson’s artwork is heavily influenced by the Australian landscape, considering she grew up in the foothills of the Warby Ranges. The now Melbourne-based artist loved the surrounds and views afforded from the family’s Hamilton Park home near Wangaratta, where she was raised with her three sisters and brother. “I love the everyday landscape - the one you may miss while you’re driving past in the car,” she said. So she was pleased to return ‘home’ this month for the St Bernard’s Primary School Art and Photography Show, where she displayed a couple of pieces, several years after her own involvement with the school as a parent (her son Alessandro, now 21, is a former student). “I loved Ali going to St Bernard’s - it was a great community and I met some wonderful people there. “I was able to show other young artists in the community that there are possibilities available to them, because I had a show in New York when I was living in Wangaratta,” she said. Belinda completed a Master of Fine Art (Research) at RMIT University in 2018, focusing on the effects of extreme weather on people living in regional Australia.
