Annabel Le

Annabel Le is a queer Naarm/Melbourne-based artist with a Viet-Chinese Singaporean background. Her work includes sculpture, fashion, and illustration, often drawing inspiration from Asian culture to celebrate its unique qualities and identities. Through her art, she shares personal experiences and explores different aspects of herself, inviting others to connect.

As a versatile maker, Annabel enjoys experimenting with a wide range of mediums, including pottery, painting, photography, jewelry making, and 3DS. Each medium serves as a unique canvas for her artistic expression, yet all share a distinctive quality that defines her work.

Her art is deeply rooted in personal experience, often reflecting her Asian identity or evoking specific feelings and memories. Growing up in regional Victoria, she felt the need to conceal her cultural background to fit in, but she now embraces her heritage as a vital part of her identity. Annabel’s work explores the complexities of navigating multiple cultural backgrounds within the Australian context.

Through her art, she conveys vulnerable emotions of longing and nostalgia, presenting them in a way that invites understanding and compassion—free from the judgments often associated with adult perspectives.
