Visual Artist
In an unlikely marriage where trauma and healing meets the vibrancy of places she's lived — Art Deco Miami, Neon Graveyard Vegas, and Barefoot Luxury Ibiza — Heather Bellino’s art challenges the viewer to look beyond whimsical colors, symbolism and patterns to find the deeper undertones in the subject matter. Through exploring a deconstructed reconstruction, Bellino became inspired by the idea that by dismantling a concept you could create an even more beautiful one. Much like Bellino’s own personality, there’s a playfulness at the surface, however beneath the story of each piece she seeks ways to introduce the complexity of being human. With immersive art exhibits around the world, Heather Bellino is a multi-disciplinary artist currently based in the United States and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Florida Atlantic University.
