About Me
Chasity is a Nuyorican visual artist born and raised in Bushwick, Brooklyn in New York City. At a young age, she began drawing comics and creating her own worlds as an escape from the adversity present in her household. During high school, she was introduced to Fine Arts and utilized it as another way to pour her innermost feelings onto a two-dimensional format. Her current work primarily consists of still life paintings and drawings which combine symbolism for identity, self-expression, nostalgia, and feelings of melancholy.
She was most recently selected as one of June's winners for the Boynes Monthly Art Award, as well as a finalist for Acrylicworks 10: The Best of Acrylic, a special issue of Artists Magazine set to be published in September 2023. She is currently a Young Artist Affiliate of Viridian Artists Inc, an artist-owned contemporary art gallery located in the Chelsea region of Manhattan. During the summer of 2021, she was an artist in residence at the Carrie Able Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She is also a graduate of the BFA Illustration program at Parsons School of Design. Outside of her usual visual arts projects, she enjoys textile arts, singing and engaging in martial arts.
