Welsh Country - Issue93 - Mar-Apr 20

Elemental Pembrokeshire
by Belinda Bean
‘A
different way of looking at life’s simplicities’ is how Belinda has previously described her work. Her muse
the beautiful coasts and caves of Wales, the artist chooses to ignore traditional ideas of allure, embracing the
aberration, the crookedness and the uncertainty of nature. Where the natural world fails to be flawless is where
Belinda is her most inspired, fervent in her intent of capturing ‘inadequacies’, beautiful in their own right - encapsulating
the enriched and dramatic atmosphere of the Welsh coast. Belinda’s art, in its portrayal of landscapes bearing the scars
of time with pride, tells the enthralling tale of a country renowned for its myth and its mystery. It is not hard to see, when
observing her work, the power and strength of the simple and often over-looked; in Belinda’s monochrome depiction of
Pembrokeshire and beyond, time stands still, view her art to see Cymru in an entrancing light.
Her work exhibited at numerous venues around the country, a lecturer of photography for over sixteen years and
possessing a Master’s Degree in Photography, Belinda is a Pembrokeshire based photographer specialising in fine art and
event photography of a highly professional quality. Photographic work is available to purchase; prints, canvases and cards.
Also offered by the artist are a vast range of photographic tuition courses, tailored to either individuals or small groups.
