About Us
Meet the artist
A pharmacist-turned-artist, blending a love of botany with vintage romance and handmade craft.
Our Story
From pharmacy counter to painter's desk
Studio Chelseawas founded by a pharmacist who traded the pharmacy counter for a painter's desk, drawn back to a lifelong fascination with the history of botanical medicine and vintage apothecary illustration.
That fascination grew into two collections: The Apothecary Artist, detailed watercolour studies of the plants once used in centuries-old remedies, and Forest & Field, a line of jewelry and gifts made with real pressed flowers and earth-inspired materials.
How We Work
Every piece, made with intention
Real Botanicals
Every pressed-flower piece uses real, hand-gathered blooms — never printed or plastic.
Original Art First
Every illustration begins as an original watercolour painting before it becomes a print.
Small Batch, By Hand
Nothing is mass-produced — each piece is made to order in a Kingston studio.
A Little Nostalgia
Vintage-inspired designs meant to feel like a keepsake from the very first wear.
Follow Along
