Chelstin Ross is a contemporary watercolor artist from Columbus, Ohio, living in Seattle, WA. Pushing the boundaries of watercolor, she creates vibrant, textured bands of color to paint abstract, shapeless forms. She loves the outdoors and is deeply drawn to colors around her, drawing much of her inspiration from nature. For this reason, her abstract paintings translate the emotions she feels through sensory exposures into form and color. She explores color relationships and patterns found in nature, making the most of the texture and fluidity of her artistic medium. She often derives her imagery from memories, imbuing her artwork with a surreal quality.
