Belinda is an LA/Kauai based artist who specializes in watercolor. In this world of turmoil and chaos, she is forever seeking peace and spiritual tranquility to inspire and share in her work.

As a committed watercolorist, she believes in painting every single day. Sometimes she will paint 2-3 paintings at the same time as they all usually need 'drying time'. It is ultimately important to her to keep current and keep her 'water color flow'. She realizes if a day goes by without painting, usually a few days will then go by and soon enough she begins to doubt her ability to paint.

The minute she is flooded with doubt, nothing seems to go right and starting back up is grueling; as if there is lead in her hands and the flow is gone... Keeping a flow alive is far easier than trying to crank it back up when all feels rusty and unnatural; like trying to run from a complete stop. Best to keep the wheels oiled and turning, while tickling one's Muse with a constant brush stroke, she says.

There is so much diversity in watercolors, one can only be limited by one’s own imagination. If you are open to listening to the muse, the flow of the water can lead you where your imagination is endlessly open, allowing the kind of awesome creativity that real “Art” is truly made of. The kind of Art that takes you out of yourself and frees you of all limitations. This is Belinda's goal; to allow your eyes to rest on an image that will open and inspire your imagination beyond your physical world, allowing you to relate, yet freely fly...

Belinda Balaski, a native of Southern California, creates colorful watercolor and pastel paintings. She is especially fond of painting horses, influenced by her childhood traveling the racetrack circuit with her father, the well-known jockey, Lester Balaski. Her work focuses on capturing the spirit and unique beauty of living creatures and the natural world. She is motivated by the desire to share a spiritual sense of serenity and peace through landscapes and seascapes.

Belinda’s creativity expressed itself at a young age in acting, photography, and art. When not performing in theatre, she was shooting pictures and drawing incessantly. At fourteen she won a four-year scholarship to the Minnesota Corresponding Art School.

Belinda’s gift for acting took her on a different path. She won many awards and excelled in a 50-year career in Hollywood. These experiences developed her artistic eye for framing, beauty and editing a myriad of choices. Drawing from a well of diverse talents and life experiences, Belinda uses her gift of capturing a feeling with an instinctual ease of composition.

Belinda lives and works in Southern California but spends several months a year on Kauai, her spiritual home, where many of her inspirational paintings are born.
