Grace Gladdish
Grace Gladdish is an artist living in Tasmania who’s work relies heavily on printmaking processes. Grace studied art in Brisbane in the nineties, and her early practice was based there. A move to turrakana/Tasman Peninsula in 2009 to run a native flower farm, saw a major shift in focus as the landscape took over as her inspiration.
Creating linocuts is a many staged process and this has given Grace time to fit her art making around the responsibilities she has as a Carer.
A move to the foothills of kunanyi in Hobart gave Grace more time to focus on her craft.
Now a full-time artist, she has developed a unique style of hand painted linocuts that are richly coloured and full of detailed observances of the wild landscape around her. She is particularly inspired by the alpine regions of Tasmania.
