chelsea lee palombaro (b. 1990) is a self-taught painter, currently based in austin, tx

born in buffalo, forged in philadelphia, ignited on the west coast, as chelsea’s location changes, her work reflects the landscape and color palette of the nature that surrounds her

with dance as her lifelong discipline, chelsea’s painting practice is physical in nature and evokes movement through pools of color, abstract layers of form and formlessness. her work is personal and playful, and explores the terrain of her emotional landscape. the genesis of each work comes from journal entries, pockets of thought, and fragments from conversations with friends and God.

her work simultaneously beckons you to natural spaces here in this world, with whispers from other worlds.

she is inspired by personal and collective nostalgia, natural landscapes and feminine form.
