Chelsea Granger is a multidisciplinary artist. Painting, drawing, illustration, murals and tattoos are the foundations of her practice. She recently self-published a zine about death and grief titled “So Many Ways to Draw a Ghost”. After the death of her mom as well as a dear friend, she started her art as a way to sign up life, with the hope that her art can act as a doorway to create conversations about death and grief. Chelsea’s art is of the every day, inspired by the overlap of earth/spirit dimensions, and woods as church. She is interested in painting as medicine, painting as a portal, painting as a spell. Her work has been exhibited across the Northeast, and her murals exist across New England. For more than twelve years, Chelsea has collaborated with Thyme Herbal, making medicine posters and zines. Chelsea holds a bachelor’s degree in painting from UMass-Amherst and a certificate in therapeutic recreation from Gateway Community College. Her work celebrates life while honoring death and walking gently into the unknown.
