Hi, I’m Grace. I’m a painter and illustrator based in Hawaii. My work explores identity, relationships, and the overlap of worlds. I would describe my work as darkly whimsical and narrative, with a surreal twist. I’m here to share more WIPs and connect with other artists!
Wonky-eyed face, slowly coming alive!

In progress on one of my current paintings. This is based off an older sketch that I’ve wanted to build off for a while

I’m aiming for a print drop in February! This print is of one of my favorite paintings from my show, titled “Outskirts of the Forest Castle”. It depicts an adventurer with her mantis steed. 16x20in matted and ready to hang.

A beetlejuice coded sculpture from last year that I’m super pleased with. I even made a little book for her. Haven’t transferred any text into it yet.

My icon is another piece from my first solo, titled “Lura”. It’s a wrinkle faced bat!

A piece from my first solo show, back in October 2024! This was my experiment with working larger and also working in layers, making a shadow box of sorts. I envisioned a theater, a sort of welcome into the world I wanted people to walk into when they saw my work.
