Belinda Kurczok is a Tasmanian artist. She developed an interest in wildlife shortly after moving to Tasmania as a teenager, when she raised an orphaned baby wombat. She later worked in a wildlife park for five and a half years. She went on to focus solely on birds in her artwork, with a particular interest in Tasmanian birds. In 2007, Kurczok won the People’s Choice Award in Adelaide’s Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize, receiving a $5000 prize and a ticket to Malaysia.
