    Brenda Belfield is an abstract painter and designer of architectural stained glass whose major commissions include 60 windows for the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.  Her walls of glass are seen across the U.S. and in places as varied as the American Embassy in Saudi Arabia and the NATO base in Sicily, Italy.  Belfield's paintings have been exhibited in New York City, Los Angeles, and the Washington, D.C. area and now are again at carmen's gallery on Solomons Island, Maryland.  Belfield's artworks evoke the illusion of light in a structure that explores order and spontaneity.

    Belfield's education is extensive and varied.  She received her undergraduate degree from GW University with undergraduate and graduate study at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC.  Since then, she has continued her painting studies throughout the country.  She is a well respected instructor who taught in the public schools, the Art League School at the Torpedo Factory in VA, and at her art school in Reston, VA.  She is teaching a series of abstract painting courses through carmen's gallery which are available and open to anyone who would like to sign up for them.
