Hey there! I’m Chanelle Chambers
(aka Cha Cha)

My hubby’s nickname for me and the way I flit around in life is "hummingbird." Honestly, I don’t know how to sit still. We both agree it’s both a blessing and a curse. 😅 But this restless energy has helped me a lot in my graphic design studies and preparing for art shows. More on that below...

My husband also introduced me to the salty life—hunting waves at beaches around the world. That sense of calm it brings needed to be replicated in my own life, especially during post-natal depression. So when I was going through that, I did what I knew best: I threw myself into experimenting with a different form of art. I discovered that my hands are my best tools for the job! I knew it was now or never, especially before the kids got older, so I committed to painting almost daily. After lots of procrastination and some pivotal words from a beautiful artist named Jacqui Armstrong, I finally took the leap to exhibit. A year later, I saw myself exhibiting at that very art fair, and just five months after that, I had my first solo show at Palette, Fremantle (in February 2024).

I’m learning firsthand that opportunities for artists are limited, so I’m eternally grateful to those who have helped me so far! I’m always open to ideas and collaborations—or even passing this along to a friend who might need some calm on their walls means more than you could ever know.

Through the process of healing myself with art from the age of 8, I’ve learned so much. Now, I’m studying arts therapy to bring that healing to others.

I’m not afraid to show works in progress. I've always believed that art can imitate life, because I truly think we are all works in progress. We’re also ALL creative, in our unique little ways. If you take anything from my sharing on socials and my website, I hope it inspires you to express your creativity because I promise, it’s in there!

Reach out if you have a story you’d like to share through art. I’d love to hear it! Otherwise, sign up to be the first to know about my upcoming art launches or when my classes finally launch. I’d love to have you along for the journey.
