Chantel

Chantel works with joy and excitement to create her signature collages, often containing surrealist elements of nature. Chantel also experiments with more abstract works; she is extremely playful and bold with her mark-making, creating striking and expressive pieces. Open minded and up for new techniques, yet decisive about her colour choices, Chantel makes works full of joy. 

Artistic expression can help foster engagement with others, and Chantel relishes the social aspect of Artbox. She finds her creativity an excellent way to communicate nonverbally and she interacts with volunteers and other artists in the studio through her art. Her bubbly personality translates to her artworks, rendering her making process and final pieces exciting conversation starters.

The Artbox community has enriched Chantel’s social and individual wellbeing, and expressing herself through art has benefitted her and everyone who is there to witness the joy with which she creates.
