Grace's passion for art began in childhood and intensified when she studied painting as an adult. Her adventure in art began in earnest when she moved to Hong Kong in 2001, leaving a sales and marketing career with Procter and Gamble and the American International Group and then earning a Certificate in Foundation Art and Design from Hong Kong University School of Professional and Continuing Education.
Grace continues her journey to paint expressively, foregoing detail in favor of color, texture and loose representation. Of late, she's been enjoying painting the dynamism of the human figure and the serenity of still life, has rediscovered the spontaneity of watercolor and the grace of Chinese painting, and has gravitated towards the immediate gratification of smaller formats.
Her creative energy overflows from her own art to her art school, Pitter Painter. She finds inspiration from the contagious spontaneity and sparkle of children and thrives on continuously developing creative projects for them.
When not with little artists, she's most likely painting something else, lifting weights, reading, or bugging her grown children.
Grace has participated in a solo and several group exhibits in Hong Kong where she lives with her husband and two children.
