Chrystal Sea aka Chrystal Chan was born and raised in Northern California. Being fascinated by the spiritual world since the age of seventeen, the majority of her works present subjects in metaphorical situations that are derived from visions, supernatural experiences, and beings. In 2014 she came down with an auto immune disease which had times of excruciating pain, which pushed her to do heavy amounts of prayer and meditation. Doing so, further propelled her into intense supernatural experiences such as ecstasy, physical feelings of fire and pressure, heavy trances and visions, interaction with angels, etc. By 2015, she was miraculously healed by God. Each artwork is inspired by and directly connected to the supernatural.

Chrystal has shown in numerous galleries and publications internationally since 2004 and worked in the gaming industry since 2009. She has also composed music for a Sundance nominated short film, awarded semifinalist for Bombay Sapphire Artisan 2016, "Best Adult Book Cover" from The Art Order, and was an official selection of Spectrum 20 and 21.
