More About Beautiful in My Eyes

Beautiful in My Eyes features a group of observational oil paintings that focus on capturing lived moments in time. The work in this exhibit evokes memories of paused moments in daily life, crafting nostalgic feelings and thoughts. As life can be unpredictable, I seek stability by recording familiar spaces to appreciate the time spent in them and with the people I care about. This prompts me to accept spaces for what they offer rather than staging a scene. Often, I jump into painting without preparatory drawings because the subject changes as the environment moves through time. The paintings invite the audience to reflect on small things and moments that matter to them, whether that be observing how the sun comes through the window during midday or a napping family pet. 

More About Grace 

I am an observational oil painter interested in capturing fleeting moments in time. Many of my paintings render the progression of quotidian spaces across sessions, capturing movement of objects, people, and light. I explore the sense of nostalgia in mundane spaces through rigorous rhythmic applications of mark and color.
