Art By Grace Calibo

 

Grace Calibo is an artist from Washington State.

Born in Everett and now living in the Tri-Cities, creating has been her passion for the past eight years. Her art has been printed in the publication “Tumbleweird” and hung in shows by DrewboyCreative. With a foundation based in digital art, she focuses primarily on ink and gouache painting, linoleum carving, and printmaking. Grace is entirely self-taught and enjoys the process of seeking out and learning new skills and techniques to evolve her art. 

Grace’s art frequently includes natural elements such as trees and flowers alongside fantasy features and figures from her imagination. As a creator of abstract nature pieces, detailed acrylic dragon paintings, and neatly carved prints of anything she can dream up, her art isn’t confined to a single medium, genre, or mood. Instead, her art is an expression of her emotions, of a story she has created, or simply of something she wishes to see in that moment in time. 

The goal of Grace’s art is to see her ideas exist outside her own mind. The process of taking ideas, processing them, developing them, and forming them into something that can be seen and enjoyed by many is a joy to experience. What often starts as a simple sketch can become a reminder of an emotion, event, or story. It is the urge to capture these things which drives her creativity.
