Jewelry Design with Chelsea C.

Hi! I am a multi-faceted and multi-medium artist currently based out of Fort Worth, Texas. A long-time ‘creator of things,’ the arts have been a major part of my life since childhood, and I have dabbled in many different mediums including drawing, bookbinding, photography, and jewelry making. I am mostly self-taught, aside from attending high school elective art classes, and a black and white 35mm photography class while in college. Professionally, I teach after-school art classes through a non-profit organization called Build a Better Hood, and work to imbue the young people I work with, with a sense of creativity and a taste of just how important creating can be to a happy and productive life. Apart from this, I am also the owner of my own creative business, entitled “Epoxsea Artistry,” through which I sell my own work. For me, art is a therapeutic and meditative practice. It offers an outlet for the day-to-day thoughts which crowd the mind, and provides a sense of freedom through its lack of structured, concrete rules. Art provides a unique form of expression to each individual, and through my work I hope to inspire others and to ignite a spark of inspiration, or to evoke new thoughts, feelings, and ideas within those who view my work. Through teaching art, I have been able to directly share my creative thoughts and ideas, and see these dreams and inspirations come alive; something that I count among my greatest achievements. With an eclectic array of artists such as Bonnie Maclean and Hannah Hoch serving as inspiration, I am always creating something new, and delving into different art forms. Currently I can be found on my blog myindigotea.blogspot.com and will be at the upcoming Arts Goggle 2018 in October where I will be selling resin art and pendants. Additionally, the educational non-profit that I work to support can be found online at buldabetterhood.org.
