After Dinner

After DinnerI'm inspired by everyday events. I find comfort in sharing meals with those I love and there's nothing more beautifully messy than the aftermath of a delicious dinner. The shapes had to be celebrated and preserved. Graces prints somehow maintain a texture and three dimensionality, inviting the viewer to her layered dinner table. The obvious home for Graces After Dinner series would be in the kitchen, an space often overlooked when hanging art.["Prints

This pigment hides within the nooks and crannies of my layers
