An established innovative artist, Grace participates regularly in local and national
exhibitions. Grace’s jewellery expands the boundaries of wearable art and body
adornment through the experimentation of recycled materials and use of different
art forms. Her practice aims to reduce the plastic waste in landfill by using
manufacturing discards in her work. She constructs alluring arrangements of hand-
etched coloured perspex shapes, silver forms, ceramic pieces and painted surfaces
of found plastic. Her inspirations range from landscapes, weather phenomena
through to popular culture. A daring use of colour and pattern combined with her
unique style of decorative hand-etching aims to provoke the wearer’s appreciation
of the values of sustainable, ethical practices applied in her one-off pieces.
Grace currently stocks her work at John Curtin Gallery, Lawrence Wilson Gallery,
Petrichor Gallery, Fremantle Arts Centre, Yallingup Galleries, Mundaring Arts Centre,
Rockhampton Museum of Art, QAGOMA – Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art,
Goulburn Art Gallery, Griffith Regional Art Gallery, Bridget Kennedy Project Space,
Australian Design Centre, CRAFT ACT. She was also privately commissioned by the
National Art Gallery of Australia (Gallery Store) for the Matisse and Picasso Exhibition.
