At 318 Art & Frame, we’re all about celebrating artists who transform the ordinary into the extraordinary—and Chelsey George is a true master of that craft. A self-taught artist from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Chelsey has captured the hearts of collectors and art lovers alike with her stunning oyster shell magnolia sculptures and serene bayou-inspired paintings.
What started as a fun holiday project in 2018—creating ornaments from oyster shells—quickly blossomed into something much bigger. After the holidays, Chelsey found herself with leftover shells and a creative itch to experiment. That’s when inspiration struck. While arranging the shells, she stumbled upon a form that resembled a magnolia—a flower deeply connected to the South. The result? A signature style that has become instantly recognizable, merging coastal charm with timeless Southern elegance.
By 2019, Chelsey had fully dedicated herself to her art, teaching herself new techniques like acrylic painting, and exploring the beauty of her home through bayou landscapes and natural motifs. Her deep roots in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and her love for the Gulf Coast are at the heart of everything she creates. Each piece feels like a tribute to the region—an artful reminder of the beauty found in nature.
And the world has taken notice! Chelsey’s work has recently gone viral on social media, with one of her videos showcasing her magnolia sculptures gathering over 24 million views. The buzz around her art is electric, and collectors are eagerly adding her pieces to their homes.
We’re thrilled to announce that we have two of Chelsey’s latest magnolia sculptures available now at 318 Art & Frame. With the current excitement around her work, these pieces won’t last long!
