Chellis Baird is an American multimedia artist whose practice includes painting, sculpture and textiles.[1] Baird explores the elements of painting by reconstructing handwoven canvases from a unique perspective. Her process begins with woven structures as her base. Each canvas starts with neutral toned materials that are then painted, dyed and sculpted into dimensional brushstrokes. Baird uses color to emphasize the authenticity and body of each piece.
