Chantelle Watson
Chantelle Watson was born in Cape Town, the daughter of a sheep farmer and a chef. She grew up in the shadow of the majestic Table Mountain.
She has always felt a strong connection to nature, be it with the sea or exploring the mountains in Southern Africa. In 1999 she was accepted into an advertising and graphic design college. Chantelle then had a wide range of experience in the creative industry, trying photography, advertising, design, conceptualisation, illustration, and packaging… but something was missing.
In 2017 she had a go at painting trees on a large canvass for her husband as a Christmas gift. Since then, she has found her place in painting. She visits the Lakes and the coast many times a year, photographing the beauty she sees for inspiration. She paints not only what she saw, but what and how she felt too.
