Telling my story, authentically
My name is Chelsea and I am a storyteller.
I specialize in whimsical, illustration led designs with an emphasis on texture, warmth, and character. My work often lives in children’s goods and creative spaces where playfulness and storytelling take center stage.
"Gathered Light" and "Sunworn" (2026) Fine Art Media -- Gouache
This still life explores the quiet tension between structure and softness, where geometric ground meets organic movement. Warm color and loose gesture create a sense of calm, as if the room is holding its breath.
"She Left the Flowers" (2026) Fine Art Media -- Gouache
"Celesta's Garden" created in watercolor -- Boppy & Seamless Pattern
Whimsical illustrations with a warm, narrative quality, created for websites, children’s books, and imaginative storytelling.
