Belinda was born and raised in London, England where she received a degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences. She moved to California in 1989 with her husband and 2 sons. She currently resides in the Bay Area where she exhibits her work and paints full time. She has been fortunate to study with nationally renowned artists including Carla O'Connor, Donna Zagotta, Don Andrews, Skip Lawrence, and Jane Hofstetter. Belinda paints with watercolors and acrylics and describes her style as semi abstract. "When I start a painting the general form of the subject initially inspires me. I then work to capture the essence and mood rather than rendering an exact likeness."

Belinda is a member of The Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society, Pacific Art League,Los Gatos Art Association and The Fine Arts League of Cupertino where she is Vice President.
