Marika Wilson

Belinda and Marika Wilson

Marika, Belinda’s daughter, though not growing up on her mother’s country, developed a love of nature. Born in Canberra but raised in the Snowy Mountains, Marika and her family would often camp in the bush with only a few blankets and a fire to keep them warm. Fishing, collecting wildflowers and exploring the bush instilled in Marika and her brother the same deep love and appreciation for country. Belinda, a keen painter and gardener encouraged both of her children to explore their creative side.
