Celebrity Pet Portraits

With her pet portraits, she became a kind of “artist to the stars” by contacting musicians and actors and presenting them with sketches of their pets or other prints to help raise money & awareness to the PetSketch Pet Rescue Cause. Owners of her work include artist Peter Max, actors John Cusack, Dichen Lachman, and Lauren Lavera musicians Rob Thomas, Adam Ant, Johnny Marr, members of Duran Duran, The Fixx, Boy George, Scott Holiday of Rival Sons, The Goo Goo Dolls and Jon Foreman from Switchfoot.

She met singer Adam Ant at a show, and he was later interviewed for a TV show on OPRAH’s OWN with Chelsea’s drawing of his dog sitting on a shelf in the background.
