About

Based on the South Coast of Australia on Jerrinja Country.

I want to respect the elders of these lands and acknowledge that this land is stolen and sovereignty was never ceded.

Annabelle is a visual artist creating a mix of figurative drawings and abstract works that are all about intuitive mark making, focusing more on the process of creating rather than the end goal.

After a long period of chronic health flares, creating art seemed like a massive feat. This is when the planning slowed down and the intuition kicked in.

“I knew I needed to create, creating to me is healing and it’s what my body needed but thinking about what I was going to create was too much. So I just started making marks, painting blobs, spirals, squiggles and it grew from there.”

Annabelle strives to make art that she is passionate about and that is a joy to make. She wants to share her art with others who can connect in a similar way and hopes those who see her art can too feel joyful, inspired, excited and at peace.
