Michelle Belgiorno is a Sydney based artist who works across various media including oil painting, sculpture and collaborative fabric-based installations. Michelle has been a practicing artist for 25 years. She holds a BA Fine Arts in Painting from the National Art School and a BA Honours in Japanese and a Master of Commerce. 

Michelle Belgiorno has exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions and been a finalist in many art competitions including the King’s Art Prize, Paddington Art Prize, Mosman Art Prize and the Portia Geach Portrait Prize. She has undertaken five overseas residencies, four in Japan, including at Arts Chiyoda 3331. 

With a long-term interest in the culture of Japan, drawing on a fifty-year engagement with the language, people and aesthetics, her art practice moves between locally inspired landscape painting and Japanese-inspired exhibitions. 

A reoccurring theme of Belgiorno’s work is the exploration of cross-cultural exchange through art. 

Belgiorno believes art is a gentle but powerful way to build human connections and to open our minds to new perspectives.
