He was taught the Art of Woodcarving\/Sculpting by his Grandfather Rollo Haskard, himself a second generation Woodcarver\/Sculptor and Master Craftsman with additional skills as a wood turner and Landscape painter.  Kim’s interest started as a child designing and constructing items and watching his Grandfather’s pieces take shape. Kim has also studied Commercial Art and Industrial Design and even taught Woodcarving at TAFE part time for a short period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a sixth generation Australian, and having spent his developing years within the Mitcham Hills, has forged respect for the connection between man and nature. A belief in the need to nurture and develop the Ancient traditions of creating in wood and associated materials has driven him to strive for perfection in design and technique, and sees his role as an Artist to use the original beauty of nature, not only to extend it to a more permanent object of inspirational beauty and pleasure, but also to express the fragility of the source of this beauty and its vulnerabilities to humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKim’s projects have ranged from a Cedar of Lebanon pendant to busts, figures, a Church Reredos wall of carving, with various other Church, Cathedral and Ecclesiastical works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis favourite subjects are Native bird life and the morals behind the stories of Classical Mythology. His passion also extends to Clay, Terracotta, Plaster and Limestone Sculptures, both Classical and Abstract themes, from coffee table size to Landscape. Forest waste is a paradox with even the smallest of pieces transformed into art, and the resonance of millennium life forms exude from his Limestone pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompetitions and Exhibitions;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrighton Jetty Classic Sculpture competition, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013,2012\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSt Michaels Art Show; 2015, 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGumeracha Medieval Fair, 2015 each year consecutively from 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSALA Artist in residence, 2014, 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEye Spy Mylor Art Exhibition, 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSculpture for Sight, 2009\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFringe Art events 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolo Exhibition;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEndangered Birds of Australia Exhibition, The Elbow Room Restaurant, McLaren Vale, South Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Gallery Displays;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmbleside Antiques, Hahndorf, South Australia                               \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe La Liff, Rundle Place, Adelaide, South Australia  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaraja Cafe, Hyde Park, South Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elbow Room Restaurant, McLaren Vale, South Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTineriba; Tribal and Oceanic Art, Hahndorf, South Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMMISSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnquire about commissioning your very own piece from your antique finds and family heirlooms.\u003cbr\u003e0414810000\u003cbr\u003einfo@delaliff.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca\u003ehttp:\/\/delaliff.com\/collections\/rob-sanders\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnquire about Australia Wide and World Wide shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kim Bellette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68581353914649,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/0755\/1769\/files\/DeLaLiff_Kim_Bellette_Box.2.1.jpg?v=1794181588","url":"https:\/\/shoptervella.shop\/products\/limestone-box-square-by-kim-bellette","provider":"Grandwick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
