About Chelsea

About My Work

Call me crazy, but here’s what makes me want to walk RIGHT up to a painting, and what I love to focus on in my own work:

• Expressive, energetic brushstrokes

• Light that is so vivid and nuanced it moves you to another place and time

• Paint so juicy you almost want to lick it (I said almost!)

• A composition that celebrates the act of painting just as much as it celebrates the subject
