EXHIBITIONS & COLLECTIONS
Annabelle has exhibited her art in galleries, hotels and other spaces over 22 years in several countries.
Her work can now be found in homes & galleries in Rio de Janeiro, Abu Dhabi & Dubai, and in private collections in Oman, Great Britain, France, Venezuela, Spain, the USA and the UAE. Artworks for view on this site's gallery are for sale, if not yet sold.
Private viewings can be organized in the artist's studio and gallery in Fabrica Bhering, Rio.
She also works to commission.
The artist organizes workshops and demo's to share her techniques. She fuses together colour, texture & collage into compositions to portray both stillness and movement. These compositions are figurative, semi-figurative or abstract interpretations. She uses a multitude of textures to capture and re-diffuse the flow of pigment and water, which is often sprayed on or applied with a large brush. Acrylics, watercolour or vivid inks combine with rice paper and organic threads to create a magical process of fluids, textures and subtly graded hues on canvas or paper.
Water and pigment sift, merge and fuse together - chanelled by water, controlled and intensified by the edge of a brush - to create an art form which never sits still.
