Hello!
I'M CHLOE - MY ARTIST NAME IS ARTCEE
I am a UK portrait artist who loves to paint. I'm inspired by people and light, and specialise in realism. As a BAME oil painter of Caribbean heritage, I aim to empower ethnic minority individuals by bringing them to the heart of my work. My overall objective is to represent the underrepresented as honestly as possible and to increase people's sense of belonging in history, arts and culture.
Here, you can purchase original paintings, prints and merchandise. Feel free to also enquire about commissions and submit your own customer feedback. Thank you so much for visiting my site. I hope you enjoy!
