ARTIST PROFILE - Sueyel Grace

At this time I love my present expression of art in beautiful Pine Needle Baskets that are weaved with the abundant array of local Ponderosa pine needles. I have also introduced my Painted Gourds and created a beautiful combination of three medias. |
Life Takes a Turn for Sueyel Grace
I was born in Santiago, Chile and came to the United States with my parents at the age of 12. Growing up I was continually exposed to art. My grandfather, on my mother's side, was an amazing artist and her brother is one of the best impressionists and portrait artists I have ever seen. My father was the director of production for a major advertising company were I loved going and watch everyone work and design. I learned many fundamentals about art even before I knew what they really meant. All of that was left behind when I came to the U.S. My life took a different turn although I continued to love art and everything related to it. Things here were different and people thought differently so I graduated with a business major and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology by the age of 24.

At 26 I was at the top of my carrier but this was short lived due to a severe automobile accident that left me disabled. After a few years of working at getting my life and body back together I reunited with my love for art by resuming the few classes I had remaining to graduate with a Bachelor‘s degree in Fine Art and began my true destiny in life. My art forms are expressed in many medias. I like to change and expand, always growing and learning new things.

Those who know me know that I will always have something different and unique as a result of my desire to create. I guess I see art and beauty in everything, just like I believe that everyone is an artist, because if you can express an idea in any form that makes you an artist. That is what art is: the ability to express an idea or feeling on paper, canvas or any other media.
