I'm Gracey 

Working from my studio in Northern California, I create layered oil paintings rooted in contemporary figurative expressionism. I balance highly rendered focal points with loose brushwork to create movement and atmosphere. My subject matter focuses on portraiture, botanical elements, and wildlife. I create art for those drawn to whimsy.
