Chelline lives in Soldotna, Alaska and works out of her home studio where she creates colorful, nature-inspired paintings on silk. The subjects of her work range from dramatic wildlife scenes and lush florals to whimsical sealife, fishes and mermaids. Each piece starts with an original design transferred onto white silk. The design is then outlined with resist and painted with high-quality, fiber reactive dyes. When the painting is completed and dry the dyes are steam set to ensure brilliant and permanent colors. Beads, crystals and metallic paint are used to embellish some of the designs. Chelline's creations can be seen in gift shops, galleries and art fairs throughout Alaska.
