Having grown up in the rural south, Chelsea uses art used to examine the connection to place. The southern landscape serves as reflection and study. Her paintings are inspired by a lifetime spent gazing at the passing skies through the pines, hiding under the heavy oaks, and observing how their weathered gestures translate into moods. Chelsea draws from an experimental background, often using unconventional methods and mediums. The artist lives in Memphis, TN with her husband, Stephen, and two rescue dogs, Charlie and Buddy.
