Annabelle Gfeller is an artist whose creative journey has been shaped by a deep connection to nature, culture, and spirituality. Nestled within her serene home studio, surrounded by the tranquility of her garden, she finds inspiration and solace. Her work is a meditation on beauty, mindfulness, and the sacredness of life. With each painting, Annabelle seeks to evoke a sense of stillness, inviting viewers to pause, reconnect, and immerse themselves in the present moment.

Having grown up in a New Zealand-Swiss household, Annabelle’s upbringing was marked by a strong bond with her grandparents, who shared with her their love for the New Zealand bush, birdlife, and hiking. Her grandmother, in particular, nurtured Annabelle’s passion for art and painting, planting the seeds for what would become a lifelong pursuit of creative expression.

Annabelle’s work draws from her travels, particularly her deep connection to India. Themes of divinity and connection are explored through the symbolic use of niches, altars and decorative elements. Her jewel-like colour palettes further reflect the fleeting, ephemeral beauty of nature. 

After extensive studies in alternative health, Ayurveda, and nutrition, Annabelle's work has come to reflect not only her artistic talents but also her spiritual journey. The wisdom she gained from her studies and motherhood has shaped her art into a soul-centered exploration of beauty, wellness, and connection.

Annabelle now lives in a harbor-side suburb of Sydney with her husband, two children, a Ragdoll cat, and a lively Spitz/Pomeranian cross called Rocco. With each painting, Annabelle invites us to awaken to the profound depths of our being by reconnecting with nature.
