Afterwards she undertook an apprenticeship in Scenic Painting and moved to Scotland where she worked at the RSAMD before becoming a freelance artist. Belinda has worked on various commissions from festival/community projects to scenic paintings for the Glasgow Museums and theatres. In 2002 Belinda decided to concentrate more on her own work as well as teaching. Below are a selection of exhibitions and screenings.
