Welcome to our world of art — a gentle, sunlit place where imagination stretches like morning light across a blank canvas. Here, we create from the heart: original artworks that whisper of wild places, hand-crafted pieces that hold stories, and workshops that invite you to play, make mistakes, and find your own way back to joy.
Our studio is an artist-led sanctuary. Every colour, brushstroke and texture is inspired by nature — the hush of leaves, the softness of feathers, the warmth of wood, the quiet rhythm of tide and wind. We work with soulful, natural materials and a soft, expressive palette, making art that feels like coming home.
Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind piece to ground your space, a custom commission that captures a memory, or a workshop that rekindles your creativity, you’re always welcome. We gather people of all ages — children discovering the thrill of colour and creation, adults reclaiming time for play, and everyone who wants to connect more deeply with their creative spark.
Art with us is more than decoration. It’s a practice in listening, in honest expression, and in celebrating the small, ordinary moments that make life luminous. We encourage curiosity over perfection, feeling over instruction, and the simple freedom to make something beautifully yours.
Step in. Take a breath. Let a little wonder in.

Celebrate the story only your pet can tell with a custom portrait from Art by Chelsea Anne — soulful, handcrafted artworks that capture personality, presence and the quiet moments you hold dear.
Each portrait is:
Made to order: drawn with attention to the unique markings, expressions and energy of your companion.
Thoughtfully styled with natural palettes.
Emotion-led: we focus on the connection — the tilt of a head, the spark in the eyes, the way light falls on fur — to create more than a likeness, a keepsake that feels alive.
Why choose Art by Chelsea Anne?
Artist-led care: every commission is created by a practising artist who values imagination and authenticity.
Handcrafted, not mass-produced: each stroke is intentional; no prints masquerading as originals.
Tailored to you: options for size, medium (coloured pencil, graphite, charcoal), and little details like favourite toys or floral accents.
Perfect for gifting: birthdays, memorials, housewarmings or “just because” moments.
How it works:
Send photos and tell us about your pet's personality, quirks, favourite colours and any elements you’d like included.
Receive progress photos for approval.
Watch your portrait come alive with careful attention to texture, tone and expression.
Final artwork arrives signed and packaged with care.
Bring warmth and personality to your walls with a piece that honours the bond between you and your pet. Commission a custom portrait today and keep their spirit close, beautifully captured in an original work of art.

Imagine the pure, quiet power of a portrait stripped to black and white — where every line, shadow and thoughtful pause of expression becomes the story. Our custom black-and-white portraits turn a moment into a timeless keepsake: soulful, simple, and striking.
Why choose an Art by Chelsea Anne black and white portrait?
Timeless elegance: Monochrome removes distraction and celebrates form, mood and emotion. These portraits age beautifully and fit any decor — from cosy cottages to modern city apartments.
Deep emotional connection: We capture more than features. The play of light and shadow highlights personality — the tilt of a smile, the calm in an eye, the warmth in a laugh — so you feel the person every time you look.
Handcrafted, personalised art: Each portrait is carefully composed and rendered to honour your subject. We work from your photo(s) and preferences — choosing contrast, texture and composition to create a piece that reflects the unique spirit of the person.
Versatile and meaningful: Perfect for gifts that matter — birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, new homes — or as a thoughtful centrepiece for your own space. Black and white suits any frame, any room, any mood.
Sustainable, heart-led practice: Our materials and methods respect the environment and the creative process. Each piece is made with intention, care and a connection to nature-inspired aesthetics.
How it works
Share your favourite photo(s) and tell us what you love most about the person — their expression, character or a memory you want captured.
We sketch, refine and send you a preview for approval. Want softer contrast, more texture or a tighter crop? We customise until it feels right.
Final artwork is carefully finished and shipped, ready to frame or displayed as a bespoke keepsake.
Sizes & options
Intimate keepsakes (A5–A4): perfect for bedside tables and gallery walls.
Statement portraits (A3+): make a room sing with presence.
A portrait that feels like them. A black and white portrait by Art by Chelsea Anne is more than decoration — it’s a pause, a memory, an invitation to feel. Whether you’re celebrating someone you adore or honouring a life you miss, we’ll create a piece that speaks quietly and endlessly.

Bring your story to life with a custom piece that’s as unique as you are.
At Art by Chelsea Anne, we craft original artwork that celebrates imagination, nature and the moments that move you. Whether you’re after a statement piece for your home, a meaningful gift, or a collaborative artwork for your business or event, our custom art service turns ideas into soulful, hand-made creations.
Why choose a custom piece from us?
Personal: Every commission begins with a conversation. We listen to your memories, colours, favourite places, and the feelings you want the piece to hold — then translate them into a visual language that’s truly yours.
Artistic skill, gentle collaboration: Chelsea guides the creative process with warmth and professionalism. You’ll receive sketches, colour studies and progress updates, so the final work feels like a shared journey, not a surprise.
Nature-inspired, tactile work: Our pieces are crafted with natural materials and an expressive, painterly touch. Expect layered textures, organic colour palettes and a quiet sense of wonder that invites daily connection.
Versatile formats: From intimate A4 panels to large-scale canvases, framed works, murals and mixed-media pieces — we adapt to the space and scale you need.
Thoughtful gifting: Commissions make meaningful, lasting gifts for weddings, anniversaries, new homes, birthdays or corporate milestones. We help with packaging and personalised notes when required.
