Belinda Syme was born in Melbourne and has

lived in the UK since 1980. She trained in graphic

design at Swinburne College of Technology

(Melbourne) and painting at Sir John Cass School

of Art, London. During the 1990s she read for a

BA and MA in Art History and Archaeology at the

School of Oriental and African Studies.

“I paint landscapes which are influenced by

my travels and Australia, where I grew up.

Occasionally I use visual references but more

often paint from memory  and imagination. As a

result my images range from fairly realistic to

abstract. I like to use various materials and

experiment with techniques - masking, over

painting, scraping away and drawing into the

compositions which express my concerns relating to the order,

symmetry and destruction of the landscape, both natural and

man-made."

Belinda Syme mainly exhibits and sells from her

studio in north London. Her work is represented in

private collections in Australia, Great Britain,

Europe and the USA.
