I’m Chelsea Shand, an artist dedicated to creating vibrant and lifelike portraits using colored pencils, pastels, and graphite. My journey in art has been shaped by a deep love for creativity, learning, and a natural ability to help others. Drawing has always been my refuge, and despite challenges, I’ve remained committed to my craft.

My artistic path truly blossomed in 2010 after attending a transformative drawing workshop. Since then, I’ve refined my skills in portraiture and chosen to pursue art full-time. My passion for helping others has inspired me to take my journey further by becoming an art therapy practitioner. I believe in the power of art to heal, evoke emotion, and preserve memories, and I’m dedicated to using my talents to make a positive impact on others’ lives.
