La Llorona with Chelsea Perryman

Chelsea Perryman is a visual merchandiser currently based out of Chicago. She spends most of her free time cooking and drinking with her close friends. When she doesn't have her head stuck in an interior design book, she's strolling through the contemporary art wing at AIC or at home watching horror movies with her boyfriend and cat, Mila. As of late, she has been spending most of her free time planning her move to Los Angeles come spring.
