Her current theme explores women, warriors, horns and animals; all of which are elements she explores via Native American folklore steeped in symbolism and the supernatural.<\/p>\n<p><em>From <a href=\"http:\/\/voiceofprojectethos.blogspot.com\/2011\/06\/project-ethos-artist-spotlight-chelsea.html\">Voice of Project Ethos<\/a> :<\/em><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Women dominate Brown\u2019s pieces, painting them in their natural, nude state. This is meant to empower women, suggesting innate strength when women are organic. Also, the lines between man and animal are often blurred as Brown blends the two together seamlessly. This is because in Native American culture, humans, animals and nature cannot be separated. Brown even explains, \u201cIn some Native Amer\u00adi\u00adcan lan\u00adguages, there is no word to dif\u00adfer\u00aden\u00adti\u00adate \u2018humans\u2019 and \u2018ani\u00admals\u2019 because they are in essence the very same thing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She has prints available via <a href=\"http:\/\/society6.com\/chelseadraws\/\">Society6<\/a> and the images above are from her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chelseasbrown\/\">Flickr stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Discovered via the <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/groups\/pikaland\">Pikaland Flickr Group<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Happy Monday everyone, and here&#8217;s to a great week ahead!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Chelsea Brown\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2011\/07\/25\/chelsea-brown\/\" aria-label=\"More on Chelsea Brown\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
