Grace Thresher is an artist, exhibition coordinator and marketing creative based in Port Waikato, New Zealand. She uses a variety of media in her work; black pen, photographic manipulation, photography, collage and paint, inspired by nature, and things around her. Each mark is a testament to patience, detail, accuracy and precision. Aiming to create intricacies and dimensionalities, creations the viewer can get lost in.Grace expresses the movement and feeling of nature’s ever evolving, breathing, changing splendour through her work. Her practice is driven by a love of line, shape and colour in aquatic and terrestrial life, an exploration of the patterns and shapes of the living world.We have a great chat about Grace's time at Elam School of Fine Art straight out of high school, how she kick started her career after uni in a number of artistic fields, the art exhibitions she has set up, curated and marketed and her very first solo show this year.Ngā mihi, thanks for listening!See the artist's work on our blog https://www.creativematters.co.nz/blog You can follow us for updates on https://www.instagram.com/creativematterspodcast/ Please rate and review our show to help others find us https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/creative-matters/id1561034043
