Chele Ramos is a Madison-raised, self-taught portrait artist whose work explores human emotion, identity, and mental health awareness through expressive realism. She began painting in 2016 after years of drawing, finding in portraiture a way to capture both vulnerability and strength. Chele has exhibited her work in numerous Madison-area venues, including Common Wealth Gallery, American Feral Gallery and The Overture Center for the Arts to name a few. She has also participated in local art markets and community events such as Dane Arts Buy Local and the LOUD’s Latino Art Fair. In addition to her studio practice, Chele has taught workshops and youth art classes in the Madison area, including watercolor and portrait painting at Atwood Atelier, Carnelian Gallery, Art Lit Lab, and Art Hub. When she’s not painting, she enjoys spending time with her family, exploring nature, and finding inspiration in the everyday connections that shape her work.
