My name is Chloe. I'm an oil painter, leather painter, and photographer based in Ireland. 

Always with an urge to create, and came up as a Fashion Photographer and Graphic Designer in my early 20's. After many years of working for others, I completed an MA in Illustration which gave me the drive to properly launch Velvet Hellraiser. I finally began to direct my energy to something of my own, melding the worlds of my background together to create my very own gothic barbie dream-house of photography and painting.

I irreverent and gothic subjects in oils, photograph ecclesiastical imagery I'm obsessed with, and take second-hand leather and lovingly destroy them until they're unique pieces wearable blasphemy.

Everything here has been through my creative hand. Whether it's a print for your wall or one of the rare painted leathers, it's a piece of hangable/wearable blasphemy.

Welcome to the cult, 💒
