Grace's art practice changed significantly after the birth of her youngest child, who has complex needs and requires a high level of support and care. Grace shifted her art practice to relief printmaking, a method that can be easily separated into distinct stages and processes.
Five years ago, a move from Turrakana/the Tasmanian Peninsula to the foothills of Kunanyi, above Hobart, found Grace discovering a new range of subject matter: the alpine environment of the mountain itself. Grace's art continues to progress and shift as she investigates collage creations, using her relief prints as source material to make new work and investigate new methods of interpreting the raw imagery of the mountain landscape. Grace is noted for her complex, technically sophisticated work and her distinct portrayals of Tasmanian environments. Her work has been shown in galleries across Australia and she recently won the Highly Commended award in the Bay of Fires Art Prize. Grace holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) from the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane.
