Bio

Grace began translating her magical experiences as a diver into her joyfully colourful or at times atmospheric and moody paintings. She explores three primary underwater environments in her work - reefs and the abundance and movement of life found on them, shipwrecks and their often haunting histories, and caves and the evidence of how the planet was formed found in their walls.
Grace has exhibited in the U.S., Canada and France. Her work is found in private collections around the world.
