Belinda Ellis

Belinda Ellis studied fine art in London in the 1970s at Sir John Cass College, the North East London Polytechnic and St. Martin's School of Art, and for many years had a Space Studio in Wapping. Since 1989 she has lived and worked in Bloxham, North Oxfordshire. As an abstract painter she finds the endless possibilities of abstraction fascinating and exciting. She paints in acrylic, oil on canvas, and watercolour on paper, with her work predominantly abstract but strongly influenced by landscape. A major influence comes from Indian miniature painting — which she chose for her thesis at college — alongside time spent in Japan. She exhibits nationally and internationally, with work in collections in the UK, France, Sweden, China and America.
