A little about me
My name is Gracy, & I am a botanical artist residing in Texas. I have been an artist for as long as I can remember & it has always been the foundation of my personality. Aside from my love of all things expressive, I adore travel, my two doggies, my husband, and good food. I collect ladybug things, dollhouse tiffany lamps, and pincushions. I love to sew my own clothes, binge horror movies, and gardening (duh!). I believe in fairies, love at first sight, and that there's nothing a bowl of soup & a good book can't fix. If “stop and smell the roses” was a person, I am definitely her! I hope you stay a while, & soak in the energy I pour into my own he(art).
Artist Statement
I think back to being a little girl not being able to resist plucking every sidewalk flower in my path. My goal - my art style - is to convey the saturation, brightness, playfulness, and eagerness to explore that we all once possessed as children. and maybe, just maybe, with a little magic we can find our way back.
My subject matter, medium, and inspiration all derive from nature. Every individual creation houses preserved flowers foraged/grown by my own hand. After gathering fresh blossoms and letting them dry; I then encase them in glass-like epoxy resin so their beauty can be admired for years to come. Akin to moments in time, flowers are not meant to last. In that sense, my art symbolizes the desire to capture our most beautiful moments from life and freeze them in time so as to never lose them.
