Chelsea grew surrounded by inspiring landscape of the Bruce Peninsula and Georgian Bay. She graduated from Wilfred Laurier University with a degree in Anthropology and Archaeology and worked for an archaeological consulting company for over 12 years. In 2015 Chelsea went back to school and completed a certificate in Drawing and Painting (Visual Art Fundamentals) at the Haliburton School of the Arts. This reignited her passion for art, and she has been finding new ways of combining her love for archaeology, nature and art ever since.
