Chelsea Blecha is an illustrator based out of Long Beach, California. She was born in San Diego and began drawing at an early age, an interest sparked by her mother working as an illustrator. Her playful, yet elegant, controlled style is inspired by subtle details she sees in the beauty of nature, human form, and architecture. Throughout her formal training, she has received recognition for her artwork through awards and exhibitions. She is currently in her senior year working toward a BFA in illustration at California State University, Long Beach. When not illustrating, Chelsea enjoys playing guitar, traveling, or cruising the strand on her longboard with friends.
