Belinda Syme was born in Melbourne, Australia

and has lived in the UK since 1980. She trained in

graphic design in 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 come from my

travels and Australia, where I grew up.

Occasionally I use particular visual references but

more often paint from imagination and memory,

and as a result my images range from fairly

realistic to abstract. Colour, composition and

unexpected spatial relations are what interest me

the most, while concerns relating to destruction,

order and symmetry – both natural and man-made –

permeate the subject matter."

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.
