Chelsea Granger is a Connecticut based artist and illustrator. She collaborates with Thyme Herbal, making medicine posters and zines as well as being a long time member of the artists collective The Royal Frog Ballet. Chelsea’s relationship with sharing her voice as part of her practice (through Social Media and Zines) was heightened through two experiences that inspired her to connect with folks about death, grief, mental health and staying alive. Chelsea’s work is grounded in love, earth magic, collective liberation, and keeping her art affordable and accessible.

*Workshop:
Art as a Tool For Dealing With Death & Grief (how to keep living when someone you love dies) with Chelsea Granger at Have Company.
Join Have Company artist in residence Chelsea Granger for an evening of talking about art making as a tool for death and grief. Chelsea will give an artist slide talk as well as hold space for a safe sharing circle. She is part of many collaborative projects that act as containers for loss as well as celebration and is currently working on writing and illustrating a zine about death & grief. This evening is inspired by a desire to create spaces where we can more openly talk about death and our own personal practices and rituals that surround our experiences with it. “Grief is praise of those we have lost. Our own souls who have loved and are now heartbroken would turn to stone and hate us if we did not show such praise when we lose whom we love.” -Martin Prechtel, The Smell of Rain On Dust, Grief and Praise
