About

Chelsea Maria Bizub (b. 1989, Athens, GA) is an artist based in New York City working with paper, paint, fabric, and light refraction to create paintings, sculptures, and site- specific installations. Her delicate process of paper cutting, deconstruction, and assemblage evokes a mood that is meditative, spatial, and obsessively otherworldly. 

Her work abstractly explores concepts of community, individualism, mathematics, evolution, time rituals, information processing, and visual attraction-while remaining grounded in the physicality of her materials. Deeply attuned to her environment, her practice reflects the structure of systems in motion and the evolving nature of relationships. She often reuses elements of her past work, creating layered compositions that express transformation, resilience, surprise, and resolution. 

A central theme in Chelsea's work is healing. As a member of the National Organization for Arts in Health, she believes in art's potential to calm, to reconnect, and to restore. Her art-making process is not only a tool for self-healing and grounding, but also a means of offering stillness and connection to others. She sees her work as a kind of compass- guiding her toward a deeper understanding of self and purpose, even if the path is not always clearly defined. Through continual exploration and expression, she seeks to develop a unique voice that resonates with others and invites presence, wonder, and reflection. 

Originally from Madison, WI, Chelsea grew up with her twin brother and two younger sisters. Her father was a business professor and her mother a homemaker. She studied mathematics and fine art-specializing in woodwork-at the University of Wisconsin- Madison and graduated in 2012. She moved to New York City immediately after and now lives with her husband and their puppy Raziel. During the pandemic, she lived in Sag Harbor for two years and continues to maintain close ties to the East End's artistic community. 

Chelsea has created artwork for private collectors, universities, public schools, real estate developers, hospitals, lounges, a transportation hub, and a children's museum. She also leads workshops in residential buildings and community spaces, and volunteers at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and with the New York City public school system.
