Her interest in pursuing art began as a child, looking up to her mother and her paintings hung around their home, which are still a source of inspiration.Chelsea is interested in pursuing editorial, exhibition, and concept art work. She primarily works digitally, working with pen and ink traditionally. She takes inspiration from fantasy, our natural world, and the people around her.
