Currently based in Adelaide, Grace grew up in Brisbane before moving to South Australia to study a Bachelor of Visual Communication. Her formative years were spent immersed in nature, developing a keen awareness of movement, stillness, and the transient nature of time. This sensitivity informs her artistic practice, which explores the tension between control and surrender, structure and instinct.

Her latest series, Portraits of Time, is a study of impermanence. These works are not representations but reflections, capturing the fleeting, intuitive gestures that occur when thought is abandoned, and the body is left to respond instinctively to the medium. Through layers built up and stripped away, the paintings become records of presence, shaped as much by erasure as by application.

Drawing inspiration from artists such as Ben Quilty, Joan Mitchell, Cy Twombly, and Henrik Uldalen, Grace’s work leans toward post-modern expressionism, with a focus on gestural abstraction and materiality.

As she continues to refine her practice, Grace remains interested in the subconscious, the instinctual nature of creation, and the unseen forces that shape an artwork into existence. Her work invites the viewer to pause, to engage with what lingers beneath the surface, and to consider what remains in a world that moves too fast.
