ARTSAKE ARTISTS - ESTABLISHED
     
  GRACE GARDNER Cornwall, United Kingdom
  FREE Screensaver available  
     
 

American artist Grace Gardner left Chicago, where she was an established successful artist, in 1984. She moved to the United Kingdom and settled in Cornwall where she joined the art communities of St Ives and Truro.

 

Chiefly known as an abstract artist and a colourist she likes occasionally to return to the real work of still life and figure work. Collage, etching and monoprints are also among techniques she uses. The grid has been an obsession since childhood.

"People ask if I paint everyday and my answer is I'm painting all the time. A lot of my painting problems I solve not at the easel but doing something entirely unrelated to painting."

 

Grace now exhibits almost exclusively at the 'New Gallery' Portscatho, Cornwall but has also shown in Chicago, Rome, Poland, London and St Ives Cornwall. A good selection of her work can also be seen in Cornwall in the collection owned by the Falmouth Municipal Art Gallery.

"The passion to paint surpasses all others but the passion to live, which as far as I am concerned amounts to the same thing"
