Hi!  Welcome to my art page!  My name is Chelsea McShane, and I am a self-taught artist who lives in Northwest Arkansas with my husband Matt, and 3 children.  Art is a part of who I am.  As a teenager I spent my nights sewing, sketching, drawing, and painting, and always looking for a new project to embark upon.  Those early years are what gave me my foundation in art, and established my love for creative projects. 

Over the years I have evolved after dabbling in many areas of design and art.  During college I started my own dress-making business. Sketching dresses and sewing became a real passion. During that time I also gained a lot of experience in portrait art, as I found myself painting many of the children I would baby-sit. 

Currently, the bulk of my art consists of contemporary abstraction, animals, and spiritual artwork.  Modern day fashion, style, and interior design are a major influence in my current work. I hope for people to feel a connection with my work in a sincere, unique, and joyful way and my purpose is to glorify God in the process.  Thank you for taking the time to visit my art page and browse my online gallery.  You can follow along with my art journey on instagram @chelsmcshane_art.
