Belinda Balaski · Winner Collectors Art Prize

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.
