Essex Art Center is proud to announce the solo exhibition of Chelsea Tyler Marrero, a Puerto Rican/Dominican-American artist whose work intertwines painting with an introspective study of guided visualizations, meditations, and chakra systems. 

Chelsea was born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Her current work explores the parallels between nurturing her relationship with her Latin heritage, her discovery of healing practices, and an interest in helping her community develop a greater sense of connectivity with where we come from and the world we live in.

Chelsea was selected from the open call for Essex Art Center’s BIPOC Artist/Curator Program. Inaugurated this year, this program seeks to highlight and support the work of a Lawrence-based BIPOC artist or curator through an exhibition, mentorship, and a stipend. 

Chelsea's collection of figurative oil paintings will be on view at Essex Art Center from November 4 through December 12. Throughout the exhibition, Chelsea will offer workshops that explore each of the seven chakras.
