Grace Emmet is an eco-artist, educator, program director, naturalist, and sustainability advocate.
Grace’s practice is dependent on an intimate relationship with the environment and place-based art making. Her current work centers on her fascination with ecology and how our lives intertwine with the beauties and complexities around us. She focuses on promoting ecocentrism through art and education and strives to implement sustainable habits in her foraging and natural ink making practice. Through this interdependence with nature, Grace hopes to create pathways of connection between our human and natural worlds that encourage coexistence and sustainability.
She holds her BFA in Illustration from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Her work has been shown in galleries, museums, and universities across Massachusetts. Grace lives and works out of the beautiful nook of Outer Cape Cod tucked in-between two seasides.
