makers we like :: Belinda Suzette

One of the simply wonderful things about Hey Maker! is the meeting (be it in real or on the webs) with creative, sharing, inspiring people. People we wouldn't normally have connected with, or bumped paths with. This Hey Maker! thing we've got going here really is good.

As a little homage to all these good makers who we're getting to know, I thought it might be fun to start a little series here showing them off to you. How does that sound?

Let's start with the quirky, vibrant, fun creative artist Belinda Suzette. 

Belinda's work is folk-inspired, with a modern colour palette and off-beat themes. Her works are mixed media collage, in either digital or hand-made (traditional) techniques.

 

Belinda made herself known to us Hey Makers! right from the start, as she was as excited about making 'stuff' happen as we are. And boy aren't we glad to have made the connection with her. Simply can't wait to meet Belinda in person. 

In the meantime, please enjoy this very small snippet of her amazing work. Really, I'm having a hard time choosing any favourites.

Some exciting news! ...... Our new pop-up retail space (set to open very very soon) will feature some of Belinda's art prints for sale. Come and check them out, won't you, I don't think they'll last long.

Also, we have a special piece of Belinda Suzette and Hey Maker! coming soon. You'll be able to pick it up next week at the Caba Creative Event.

Hey Maker Update

Hey Maker! needs a HQ.  


If you've been following our dream of securing a beautiful space in Murwillumbah, you'll know how deeply in love we are with our vision of creating a great space for locals and creatives.  


There is so much potential in our riverside home to be an arts destination, buzzy with making and learning and sharing. We want people to stop by, we want them to spend their cash in our cafe's and our retail spaces, we want our wealth of creatives to be celebrated, visited and promoted. 


Imagine a space, where you can sit and knit or draw or flick through cool mags. While you're there you sign up for a workshop, watch as glass or wool or paper or ink is transformed by an artist who sits window-side and explains the process and the love.  


Not only could you learn and share, you could support.  Our local creatives are amazing beings and most people around our town may not be aware of the talent that settles into their studios each morning above our streets. In this imagined space you can buy local, buy unique, buy handmade, by crafted, buy loved.  


Just imagine and stay tuned........
