“I’ve always told stories,” she says. “When I was editing fashion and beauty, I’d always think in terms of stories, and this has followed in my work as an artist and maker.”
After an early career in London styling photoshoots for glamorous magazines, she moved to the USA when her husband’s job took the newlyweds to Delaware on the eastern seaboard. There, following the birth of their first child, she embarked on the adventure of life as a full-time parent navigating a new city on the other side of the world. “A baby is a great way to strike up a conversation and meet new people,” she says. “I made a lot of friends, and Delaware and nearby Philadelphia and Baltimore really opened my eyes to art.”
Bellamy acquainted herself with Philly’s Barnes Foundation (one of the world’s greatest collections of impressionist and post-impressionist painting) and the Baltimore Museum of Art and quickly enrolled in painting classes at the latter. “I haven’t stopped since,” she smiles.

You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
