The vibrant alcohol ink pieces are created by blowing the ink with my breath, or with compressed air, or pushing the ink across the canvas for a variety of botanical & surrealistic images.

The paintings are created in either acrylic or water-based oil paints with general brush work. Some of my paintings have metallic paint pen or permanent ink overlay, done by hand, depicting organic images inspired by nature.

All work is created on gallery wrapped canvas, coated with an acrylic UV protectant varnish, and professionally wired ready to hang.

Hello! I am an illustrator and painter, and I live in Minneapolis Minnesota, with my husband, Luke, and our dog, Nana. I have been creating art for as long as I can remember and I am so lucky that I am able to share my passion with others. I love the outdoors and being in nature, and my art is reflective of that.

My work is significantly inspired by nature and the fluid line, pattern and design found within the natural world, if you only look close enough. I work with watercolors and gouache and am enchanted by the loose and unpredictable nature of the medium. I work on cold pressed paper and use flat washes, as well as wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet methods to create beautiful watercolor washes and perfectly unexpected blooms. I love the fact that I only have so much control over what the water and pigment will do once my brush hits the paper, watercolor blooms are my favorite surprise when I paint.

I have a passion for discovering the connections between ourselves and our natural world & the interconnectedness of all things. My work is both whimsical and earthy. I am a painter and illustrator. I find joy in the discovery of shared experiences and creating windows into the stories I see and imagine. I paint with acrylics on prepared cradled board, watercolor, and collage, on stretched canvas, or paper. My favorite subjects are often what you could easily find and see around you, bringing attention to the wonder of ordinary.

The soft breeze, a magnificent sky, the cool water......All elements that drive my creativity along with a light touch of the paintbrush, feeling of peace and sense of place. As a child of the Great Lakes I grew up with a landscape of water, woods, rocks and a sense that everything around us is so much larger and more mysterious then we will ever comprehend.

I use a variety of watercolor techniques to create highly detailed paintings on archival papers. These natural subjects are both realistic and artful in nature. Through these images, I strive to elevate and preserve the beauty of our natural world as well as infuse joy into our daily lives.

Subjects are chosen in the spirit of environmental stewardship.

Romanian-american writer, journalist, novelist, poet and artist-painter and author of several books. I am in love with the canvas and creating with beautiful colors. It is so easy for me to 'write a poem’, but instead with a brush, colors. It makes me feel good about being able to share the gift of art with others. Inspiration is abundant, from love the flowers, delight at a beautiful sunset, or the ocean, a bird chirping and the sky. I enjoy being able to paint from images dreamt at night, from what I see with my mind, it makes me want more and to share with everyone the joy I have when a painting is finished. I mostly paint with acrylic, 2 D and 3D.

Watercolors, liquid acrylics,alcohol inks on archival paper/canvas, layers create a sense of texture & depth reflecting perspective of fur, fin and feathered subjects. 
My style is bright, loose,drippy and gestural with realistically rendered pockets of detail that breathe life into my creations. A variety of multilayered techniques where each layers a story and texture peeks through to accentuate the final image. For me, the process of creating art is a whole body experience. It draws me in, the world quietens away and I pour everything into the creation coming to life in front of me.

Minnesota born and raised, with a life-long study of the local landscape including close study of the local flowers, trees, and parks. Residing in Minneapolis.

Self-taught oil painter. Professional Interior Designer, student of Tai Chi, meditation, and energy work.

In my paintings I am idealizing the universal flower or leaf, seeing the leaf or flower an object of contemplation and meditation. 

I spend lots of time in nature. My work starts with drawing on my canvas, and then adding layers of oil paint to produce my images. 

My paintings are oil on canvas, generally using 3 layers of paint to create depth, dimension, and texture. My technique has evolved into a color-blocking style with very crisp edges. The larger paintings can take several weeks to complete.

I work from original drawings and photographs that I take on site to create large format paintings using oil, acrylic, and ink that feature realistic urban and city/landscape scenes, in addition to more abstract work that is also inspired by the forms, colors, and environments that inspire my realistic work. I work both mid-size and large-format and have a range of work types and sizes when I show at art fairs and gallery shows.

Chelsea Rudie has been painting with alcohol inks since 2018. She began painting following the unexpected passing of her mother, also an artist. She inherited her mother's artworks and supplies, and worked through her grief creating beautiful art with her mother’s alcohol inks.
Chelsea’s art is inspired by the beauty of both nature and man-made structures, using bold color combinations and negative-space to present the known in novel ways. Chelsea uses different methods, including pencil and pen drawing filled in with ink, as well as manipulating inks using an airbrush and isopropyl alcohol to encourage movement.
