Gracey Ripa is a California-born contemporary figurative painter and traveling muralist based in San Francisco. Influenced and inspired by the women in her childhood, her work centers on abstract female portraits.

At the age of 18, Ripa received several art scholarships to various colleges but instead worked as a tattoo artist for seven years. Her desire to focus fully on painting ultimately led her to change careers. As a full time painter, Ripa developed two distinct styles: bright, joyful murals and deep, emotional works on canvas. She finds fulfillment in both, embracing the contrast between them as part of her artistic expression.

Ripa regularly exhibits her paintings in art shows and has displayed her work at notable venues such as the Denver Art Museum, Red Dot Miami, and the San Francisco Art Fair.
