Art to explore. Create. Connect. Feel
Art by Chelsea Anne is a creative space on the Bass Coast where art is about more than the finished piece.
It's about having the freedom to explore, the support to learn, the confidence to try something new, and to create something that means something to you.
Explore the creative possibilities.

COMMISSIONS
Create something that means something.
From beloved pets to people, memories and meaningful moments, create an original artwork that captures the emotion behind what matters to you.
ORIGINAL ARTWORK
Find something uniquely yours.
Original, hand-created artwork spanning different styles, subjects and moods — from light and beautiful to dark, dramatic and everything in between.
Art doesn’t have to look one way.
For me, creativity has never been about following one set path.
Sometimes it's about learning a new skill. Sometimes it's about experimenting and seeing what happens. Sometimes it's about making something beautiful. And sometimes it's about creating something that helps us hold onto a person, a memory, a feeling or a moment.
That's why Art by Chelsea Anne takes many forms.
Children are encouraged to explore and develop their own creative voice. Adults are given space to switch off and enjoy making. Commissions are created around the people, pets and memories that matter. And my own artwork can move from realism to dark, light, whimsical or unexpected — wherever the creativity takes me.
The common thread is simple: art should make you feel something.
A place to create
Group classes and one-on-one sessions can work together.
Children can move between the two as their interests and needs change — whether they want focused time on a particular skill, a quieter space to create, or simply a different kind of creative experience.
Every child creates differently — so why should every child have to make the same thing?
Our kids' art classes give children the freedom to explore their own ideas while having the guidance and support they need to develop their skills.
They might draw, paint, sculpt, build, experiment with mixed media or work on a project they've imagined themselves.
Some children want to learn a particular skill. Others need somewhere to unwind after school. Some arrive with a clear idea, while others need a little help finding their starting point.
There isn't one right way to create.
Chelsea adapts her guidance to the child, helping them break down challenges, explore possibilities, build confidence and discover what they're capable of.
Come for the art. Stay for the good company.
Sometimes you just need a night where nobody needs anything from you.
Our adult creative workshops are relaxed, social and completely free from the pressure of having to be "good at art".
Come with a friend, meet someone new, try something you've never done before, have a laugh and enjoy making something with your own hands.
No experience required. No expectations. Just creativity, connection and a little time for yourself.
Some things are worth turning into art.
A beloved pet. Someone you miss. A person you want to celebrate. A memory you never want to forget.
A commission isn't simply a picture for your wall. It's a way of capturing something that matters to you, and turning it into something you can keep.
Whether you're honouring a much-loved companion, creating a meaningful gift or bringing your own idea to life, each piece is created with the story behind it in mind.
Every original artwork is created by hand, with its own story, mood and personality.
My work doesn't fit neatly into one style. You'll find realism alongside darker pieces, lighter works, nature, emotion, imagination and everything in between.
If a piece catches your eye and makes you feel something, perhaps it's meant to come home with you.
Original art, created to make you feel something.
Hi, I’m Chelsea
I'm an artist, creative educator and photographer based on Victoria's Bass Coast, and I've always believed creativity has the power to give us something we didn't realise we needed.
Sometimes that's confidence.
Sometimes it's connection.
Sometimes it's simply an hour where we get to forget everything else and make something.
Through my artwork, workshops, classes and commissions, I love creating those moments for people.
Where will creativity take you?
Whether you want to learn, explore, unwind, create something meaningful or find an original piece for your space, I'd love to welcome you into the world of Art by Chelsea Anne.
