Chantelle Watson

Chantelle is a self-taught contemporary landscape artist with a background in conceptual graphic design. Fuelled by a passion for colour and a desire for self-exploration through painting, she creates vibrant, meaningful artworks, each with their own unique story. In her work, she embodies the mountains, sky, clouds, flowing water, and gentle rustle of grass. Each element, distinct yet interconnected, shapes a landscape that reflects our shared existence.

Her art captures the beauty of family excursions in nature, channeling the energy of the environment through her vibrant colour palette. Each stroke becomes an expression of the wildness and power of nature she feels in those moments.

Chantelle embraces an exploratory approach, often painting with her fingers to create clouds, a practice she finds transformative for her spirit. She incorporates palette knives and natural materials collected during her walks, adding texture and depth to her pieces. Inspired by Indigenous art, she integrates dot detail as a reminder that we are deeply connected to nature, we are all part of this beautiful Earth—we are one.
