Edna Kawulitzki Art Gallery

Grace is an interior designer, painter and sculptor. She works with mixed media and has experimented with new and innovative techniques.

​

She grew up in Beirut Lebanon, where her fascination with art began. She graduated from Academie Michel Ange des Beaux-Arts as an interior designer.  Her early work was displayed in galleries and hotels.  

​

In the 1990s Grace began creating large-scale sculptures out of cement. These works included life-sized statues, bas-reliefs on walls, fountains and fireplaces for upscale hotels and resorts. She later successfully painted portraits of politicians, performers and singers and then created statues of religious art, figurines of garden gnomes and forest animals.

​

Grace came to live in New Jersey with her family, Her current body of work symbolizes her art and life journey as a woman who has started a new chapter in her life. She depicts women stepping out of frames to express how she has stepped out of her home country and into a new, more peaceful world. She has always depicted women in her sketches and artwork, but now her palette is calmer, warmer and  more positive. Either portraits or full figures, her subjects are serene and in contemplation, reflecting her new state of mind.
