Hi, I’m Grace.
Abstract art is my state of mind. It is a visual experience and conversation that can be compromised with words. I prefer to let viewers open their minds, hearts and emotions to what they see and feel in my paintings.

Grace was born and raised in Pennsylvania. She was kicked out of art class in 2nd grade because she refused to stay within the lines and wanted the leaves on her tree to be orange, red and purple the vibrant colors she saw in the fall instead of green the teacher demanded. She never had an interest in art after that experience.
She relocated to Florida in 1981. Her background was corporate from 1976 until December 2007. After a life altering incident, the Universe was kind and lit up her right brain with creativity as she had never experienced before in her life.
Grace awoke a different person, verbalization was difficult, she didn’t recognize her face in the mirror; however, she saw images, forms, colors and visualized the world in a completely new way. For Grace, abstract art became her new language; it replaced the concrete, colors replaced words and boundaries. She let go of inhibition and trusted her intuitive spirit to evolve her creative process and to convey her interpretation of life and storytelling. Grace uses acrylic paints, graphite, sand, texture mediums, pencils, markers, pens, dye inks, collage, oil sticks tools and more when creating, to achieve results that she believes convey what she wants to express. All of Grace’s paintings are authentic and one-of-a-kind, bold, bright, colorful, deeply intriguing, and mysterious.
Grace has maintained a studio in Sarasota since 2011. Howl’s work can be found in private and corporate collections such as One Sarasota Tower; Sabal Palm Bank; Lutz, Bobo, Telfair, P.A.; ICORR Properties International.
