About

Grace Kelley is a painter and sculptor whose work explores self-identity, intimacy, and the emotional language of color. Working across oil painting and dimensional forms, she creates pieces that embrace distortion, organic shape, and imperfection as a way to reflect the complexity of inner experience. Alongside her studio practice, she is deeply engaged in material processes, building work through hands-on fabrication, including wood, acrylic, resin, and clay. Her approach bridges fine art and functional object-making, with a focus on craft, structure, and finish. Kelley has experience in gallery operations and art handling, and is actively expanding her practice into fabrication and studio work, where she can contribute to and learn from collaborative, process-driven environments.
