Annelise Henderson

Annelise is an emerging visual artist and arts worker based in Bendigo. Her creative practice spans across textiles, street art and video works, with a focus on play and experimentation. Annelise has exhibited in group exhibitions in Bendigo’s Dudley House, Exhibit B and Hargreaves Mall, as well as Testing Grounds in Melbourne.

In 2021 she completed a Bachelor of Creative Arts at La Trobe University, Bendigo. During her studies she started up an Artist Run Initiative (ARI) with her peers called Rookie. Rookie has become a continuing collaborative project which has transformed from a pop-up gallery to regular art meet ups and seminars, and most recently a small contemporary arts festival, Cut + Paste Festival (2024). In 2025, Annelise is excited for new creative collaborations and hopes to further develop her individual artistic practice.
