Chelle Destefano is a multi-medium and multi-disciplinary Deaf woman artist working in performance art, textiles, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and mixed media and winner of The Lake Art Prize 2020 and winner of the Lara Irvine/Meg Endersbee Bursary scholarship by Graduate Women Victoria that proudly supports my Deaf art projects.

A Deaf Artist extraordinaire that communicates through her artworks, commenting with her introspectives.
"Regardless of the candidness and originality in her dream-like atmospheres, Destefano’s roots can be traced in the poetic masterpieces by Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud and Lautréamont." - quoted by ​Timothy Warrington, International Confederation of Art Critics

I have recently been supported by these organisations through commissions and funding for my performance and textile projects.
