Chelsea
Kinch

Chelsea Kinch is an abstract painter based in Maui, Hawaii. Raised in Rhode Island, she was introduced to oil painting at the age of 10 and has since continued her self taught practice. Her paintings explore what it means to be disposable and temporary, both emotionally and bodily as a woman. With the work, Kinch tries to make peace and sense of feeling in between worlds. Painting allows her to unbind herself from the day-to-day experiences all humans are tied to. Through color and movement, she is able to make peace with deep and fluctuating emotions, being in a body, and thus embrace the beauty of experiencing life. She is committed to the exploration of painting and the process that unfolds on the canvas.
