About the Artist
Chelsea Amato specializes in epoxy resin mixed media collage. Her vibrant and eclectic folk artwork delves into feminist themes and the female psyche. Self-taught and experimental, she finds special significance in epoxy resin, symbolizing endurance and longevity. Through her deliberate use of materials, she creates pieces that transcend time.
Artist Statement
‘Chelsea is a boundary-pushing mixed media artist whose work explores themes of femininity and trauma with a maximalist style. With a penchant for bold colors and eclectic compositions, she captivates audiences with her raw and introspective storytelling. Her pieces often delve into personal experiences, including infertility and divorce, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of human emotion. Through her art, Chelsea challenges societal norms and encourages dialogue around mental health and resilience.”
