Narelle Zeller is an Australian representational artist, best known for her highly detailed figurative and still-life paintings.

Narelle aims to convey an authentic and honest representation of every subject she paints, her process allowing her to slow down and take the time to appreciate every element - inviting the viewer to look closely with her.
Narelle achieved her art education by way of completing workshops and mentorship programs with world-renowned artists.
