Art Practice

Grace works with a variety of media including painting, drawing, ceramics, mixed media print and collage. Her creative inspiration comes from nature and her aim with each piece is to bring out the precision, detail and layers she sees, encouraging the observer to similarly lose themselves in the viewing experience.

Through her work, Grace aims to express the movement and feeling of nature’s ever evolving, breathing, changing splendour. Bringing particular attention to the details, intricacies and textures within natural forms. Grace’s practice is driven by a love of line and colour, in aquatic and terrestrial life. Beginning with an idea, Grace may jot down a rough sketch, take a photograph or manipulate multiple images, sample a print or cut out images to create a collage as the initial conceptual draft. Often the final piece will have taken on a life of its own and its origination in that initial conception will be as an indistinct memory long before charted.
