KELSEA CHATBURN
We’re proud to collaborate with Toronto-based visual artist Kelsea Chatburn, whose deeply personal work explores the emotional and cultural connections we have to the places and objects that shape our lives.
For our inaugural Yonge North YorkSelf-Guided Foodie Tours, Kelsea has created four original pin designs inspired by streetscapes throughout Yonge North York. Each collectible pin debuts our neighbourhood, blending her signature style of gouache and watercolor with themes of migration, belonging, and everyday beauty.
Working from her Korean diaspora heritage and lived experiences, Kelsea’s art invites viewers to consider how food and place become vessels for memory, identity, and connection. Her work has been featured at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Gladstone House, and other notable Toronto venues.
