Bring the landscapes of Aotearoa into your home with limited edition fine art prints by New Zealand artist Michelle Bellamy.
Inspired by remote backcountry huts, mountain ranges, alpine lakes, high-country landscapes - all the places Michelle explores herself. Each artwork begins as an original painting before being carefully reproduced as a museum-quality fine art print.
Beautiful, highly detailed and collectable art reproductions featuring landscapes from around New Zealand.
Our limited edition prints are released with a limit on the number of times the reproduction will be made and sold, this ensures that your artwork remains an exclusive and collectable piece of New Zealand art. Printed on your choice of smooth or lightly textured museum-quality fine art paper, each reproduction uses archival-quality, lightfast aqueous pigment inks designed for exceptional longevity, with an expected indoor lifespan of 80–120 years indoors. Every print is personally colour-proofed by Michelle to ensure the tones, colours and fine details are faithfully reproduced and each artwork is then individually signed and dated by the artist and numbered as part of its edition – for example, 1/150. Once the full edition has been produced and sold, it will never be reproduced for sale again. You can therefore be confident that there will only ever be a limited number of each artwork available, making your print a distinctive and collectable piece of Michelle Bellamy's New Zealand art.

"I just wanted to let you know how delighted I am with the prints. They are absolutely magnificent! I took them to my framer today and opened them out properly for the first time to much oohing and aaahing from the framing shop ladies."

"The detail in this print is incredible. It looked beautiful online, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got it in person, there are so many fine details and subtle colours that you just don't see fully on a screen. The quality of the print is exceptional and it looks fantastic framed. I’m absolutely thrilled with it."
Purchased - Two Tarns near Lake Sylvester 1000 x 500

You may have recently heard of the wilding pine problems around the country. Unfortunately the Molesworth has a fair dosing of this problem, there's a few dotted around the flatlands but once you get into the highcountry it becomes more apparent in areas. Some of these infections are from past windbreaks, some are from the neighbouring Leatham and some are seeding from...
At a very early stage is Birdcage Hut, with the first heavy base layers laid down and the initial details emerging.
Situated towards the head of the Cass River near Lake Tekapo Birdcage Hut is nestled against the Haszard Ridge on the valley floor at just under 1100 metres above sea level.
This hut is a derelict one...
After this latest snow dump we feel so lucky to have spent time just before it immersing ourselves in the Molesworth. Access in winter can be a challenge, snow and ice on the passes and we just heard that the rivers in Rainbow got blown out after the last rain/snow storm I imagine these are impassable now as they get gauged out very quickly.
It's very cool to see others just as passionate about the area as us - when we turned up it made me laugh to see another ute had skis in the back (although they had biked in) nothing was going to stop them going in! It would have been a very long...
