Meet our Gallery Coordinator, Mireille Belajonas
“As an artist I have always found nature to be my greatest inspiration. Nature is life, in all aspects. Even when we don’t always know it on a conscious level, when we are outside amongst the trees and plants, we become calmer and our health and well-being get a boost. Similar effects on our mental and physical health happen when we look at an image that represents nature. Artists have found many ways to express their vision of nature, it can be photorealistic or abstract and everything in between. As your new curator I hope to bring many interesting artists to the Bayard Cutting Arboretum for everyone to enjoy. My special thanks go out to Victoria Beckert who has paved the path for me and I’m excited to Follow in her footsteps and go on this new journey with all of you.”
Mireille was born in Belgium and graduated as a goldsmith in Antwerp. Since 2000 she has lived in the USA and had her artwork shown in various libraries on Long Island as well as at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, The Reboli Center, ICA, and Moca. She is on the board of Women Sharing Art, a non-profit organization with a mission to bring together women artists and provide opportunities for professional development, collaboration, and community engagement. Together with her husband she owns and operates “Mirabela Studio of Music and Arts” in Port Jefferson where she has her artwork and collection of artisan greeting cards available for purchase.
