Chantelle is currently producing research on the art of both Ana Mendieta and Teresa Margolles, exploring body, blood, and soil-based works created by both artists through the lens of contemporary aesthetic theory. This analysis seeks to conceive of a new aesthetic language that is unique to both artists.
As a part-time postgraduate researcher, Chantelle is also presently employed in healthcare, a field that informs and expands upon the investigative viewpoint of this study.

Prior to beginning work at the University of Edinburgh, Chantelle obtained a Master of Arts in Humanities, Art History from California State University, graduating Magna Cum Laude and publishing a thesis on blood-based artworks produced since 1990 through the scope of digital culture and contemporary identity politics.
Chantelle has also previously held various professional advisory and management positions with art galleries Rosenbaum Contemporary, Guy Hepner, Avant Gallery and ARTPHOTOEXPO, as well as roles at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami and Rubell Museum Miami.
