Description

Persephone’s Price is all about the myth of the Greek Goddess Persephone and her journey to becoming the goddess of the underworld. Chelsea has been a lover of mythology since she was a child, and Persephone’s story was one that always stuck with her. She was ripped away from a life she knew and forced to become a queen of the underworld after being kidnapped and eating the food of the underworld, pomegranate seeds. Although her lot in life wasn’t her choice, she embraced it, also becoming the goddess of wealth next to her husband. This design allowed Chelsea to combine both her love of nature and plants with Greek mythology.

Chelsea Ermer lives and works in Fort Collins. She studied art education at CSU and graduated in 2012. She has been an art teacher at Fossil Ridge High School for the last eight years, where she focuses on teaching students Foundations, Drawing, Art History and Digital artwork. While these are her specialties, she loves painting and experimenting with any artform she can get her hands on.
