| An artist since childhood, Grace has practiced her art of expression in various mediums. She first picked up a camera in her early twenties. She was greatly inspired and challenged by the perspective the camera lent, realizing photographs allow a different form of communication. With a naïve sensibility and excitement for this new world expression, Grace became enveloped by the infinite possibilities of capturing light and subject matter. Grace is self-taught and mentored by artists ranging from photographers to painters, sculptors, musicians, and yogis. She has found a voice and rhythm with her growth as woman, artist, and spiritualist, using the lens as a way to communicate a journey. Her perspective of a young woman’s reflection on budding into womanhood was expressed in her first black and white nude project, “Naked”, a collection that was exhibited in the group show, “Not Only Black and White” (2004). Grace then took time to journey abroad and within herself, growing and nurturing her interest in portraiture and landscapes until taking to the nude form once again. Her project, “Humanature”, inspires to merge the synchronicities of the human form and nature. She wanted to share a piece of silence as a reminder of the gentleness of human and nature as one. Grace began the project in 2006 in Taos, N.M. and photographed most of her project in the diverse, open landscapes of California. Grace’s most current endeavors include photographing local upcoming and established musicians and artists. A California native Grace is based in Los Angeles. She is also developing her filming skills and becoming more integrated with commercial work as photographer and producer. |
