I can’t even begin to describe how much this means to me. Clearing Waters is a piece that holds a special place in my heart, and to see it recognized like this truly fills me with so much joy and gratitude. Knowing it’s part of something as meaningful as the PBS KVIE Art Auction makes it even more special.
And speaking of the auction… Clearing Waters (22C), a 24x30 contemporary oil painting elegantly framed in gold, is now officially up for auction! What’s more, it won the Jurors Award in the Contemporary Division and is up for the People’s Choice Award! I still can’t believe it. The painting’s retail price is $2,400, but the bidding starts at just $750, with all proceeds benefiting PBS KVIE’s incredible programming. Voting for the People’s Choice Award is live now, so be sure to cast your vote if you’d like to show some extra support (link here).
For those who’ve been following my art journey and have connected with my work, this auction is the perfect opportunity to add an original painting to your collection! There’s something so powerful about owning art created by a living artist—it’s a connection to the story behind the piece, the emotions, and the artist's creative process. Plus, it's a great way to bring a little nature-inspired beauty and serenity into your home.
Whether you're an avid art collector, someone who's new to collecting, or simply looking to refresh your space with something unique, this auction is a rare chance to own a one-of-a-kind work of art while supporting a great cause. The the live televised auction will take place on September 26 - 29th and you can watch/bid on mine September 28th at 7:30 PM.
I can’t thank you all enough for your continuous support—it truly means the world to me. Moments like this remind me how lucky I am to share my passion with such an amazing community.
With so much gratitude,
Chelsea 💕
