Early on, I was a crafter, sewist, and photographer. My appreciation of the arts includes all forms of creative expression, particularly the performing arts: cinema, theatre, dance, and music, visual arts, video, photography, drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, ceramics, and literature.
In 2018, I visited the Islip Art Museum and met Lynda Moran, Executive Director of the Islip Arts Council. As a result, I have been fortunate to participate in art exhibitions and joined the IAC as a member of the Advisory Council. I became a gallery attendant, photographed events, taught workshops, and created and executed high-impact weekly marketing communications to promote the organization.
My lifelong passion for the arts has recently brought me to a new venture, Belinda Rubino Artwear, where I make one-of-a-kind, upcycled, embellished, steampunk, bohemian, and vintage wearable art designed for women of style.
