Beyond what’s seen, beyond the expected — art led by intuition
Chelsea Bernardo is an artist and designer with a multifaceted background in interior architecture, graphic design, brand development, visual merchandising, and retail strategy. Before fully devoting herself to painting, she worked with renowned global brands including GAIAM, Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works, and Hilton — experiences that deeply shaped her eye for composition, texture, and storytelling through design.
After more than a decade in the retail industry, Chelsea returned to her first love: painting. Immersing herself in the canvas, she allows each brushstroke to unfold intuitively, creating layered abstractions that invite emotion and reflection. Inspired by the natural beauty of the western landscapes where she lived and hiked, her work captures the quiet strength of mountains, the passage of time, and the universal journey of healing and self-discovery.
Chelsea’s abstract works have been featured in private collections, businesses, and public spaces across the U.S., enriching each environment with their organic depth and emotional resonance.
