Grace Dam

Artist member since 2019
Pro
Toronto, Ontario

Grace is a Canadian artist based in Toronto. Her works center on oil and acrylic but also other media, with the focus on humanity, social and environmental issues. The complexity of just being human. Interconnections between ourselves and with nature. Working from a long list of possibilities, some ideas were formed since her childhood, some during her time in finance and others from her travels. Her views are implied quietly. Grace holds a BFA degree (Ontario College of Art & Design University Toronto) and a Master's of Fine Art degree (Massachusetts College of Art & Design Boston, USA).
