BiographyHistory

Artist and illustrator, Jean Bellette 'studied at the Hobart Technical College under Lucien Dechaineux. She was talented, versatile and imaginative, and eager to explore various methods of expressing her artistic passions. In the 1930s she studied at the Julian Ashton School of Art in Sydney, and in 1939, while travelling to study in Europe, she met and married Swiss-born artist and critic Paul Haefliger. They returned to Sydney, where Bellette won the Sulman Prize in 1942 and 1944, but in 1957 moved to Mallorca. They often returned to Sydney, particularly their cottage at Hill End, which is now available for lease as an artist's retreat.'
