Chelsea Brown

Chelsea Brown is an artist from San Francisco, currently living in Oxford. Put plainly, she researches the stories of both historical and mythological women, and through her work seeks to emancipate and communicate their power that may have otherwise been suppressed by patriarchal constructs. She creates drawings, paintings, and wearable pieces, and uses a variety of mediums from gouache to graphite. Chelsea has exhibited her work in a number of exhibitions and has done work for clients from small businesses to fashion publications, to painting trousers for her mom. She loves archaeological wonders, cheese products, and articulate blaspheme.
