Our Story

Grace and Grit Art launched in the early year of 2023 as a brave endeavor by a stay-at-home mama who finally decided to share her art with the world.

Its name, Grace and Grit, came from an immense appreciation of the grace our Heavenly Father extends to us each and every day and the grit it takes to continue creating in such a dark and broken world. More than anything, she wanted to use her art to spread the love of Jesus and to honor the greatest creator of all.

    Hi! My name is Chelsey and I've always had an unrealistic perception where I look at something and think, 'I bet I can make that'. That thinking led me to constantly create as a child and study art in college. But after losing confidence to pursue an artistic career, I took the path of psychology and built a career around helping and pouring into others. After staying home with my 3 little ones for a while, I began painting spirit rocks, installing balloon creations, and crafting earrings. This small amount of creating gave me the confidence to offer my services to the world - and here we are!

  • GRACE & GRIT

    "She is unshakable not because she doesn’t know pain or failure, but because she always pushes through. Because she always shows up and never gives up. Because she believes anything is possible no matter the odds. She has strength in the way she embraces all of life’s experiences — good or bad. In her willingness to bend but never break, and in her courage to believe that the darkness can’t hold her as long as she continues to create her own light. She is just like a pearl­ — made from grit but full of grace."
