Hey, I’m Grace. I’m a coffee-loving artist who spends more time in bed with my heating pad than I ever actually let on. I like to think of finding joy, laughter, and adventure in the midst of hardship like a treasure hunt—and, because of Jesus, it’s grand. This website, this blog, this foray into artist-land is part of that adventure. If you poke around here, you’ll see peeks of life into my studio world. You’ll catch glimpses of the life of someone with a rare progressive disease that is currently only treated experimentally. And you’ll see me try my very best to balance the reality of a pain-filled life with the truth I staunchly believe: that God is good. And that balance has become such a beautiful thing to me. Join me?
