Grace Pedersen is an artist and crafter from Toronto, ON. Both of her parents are creative people, and her mom is also a painter. Grace grew up surrounded by crafting supplies and though she tried several extra curriculars, the only thing that interested her was sculpting/pottery class. She was never great, but it helped her discover how much she loved working with her hands (fast forward a couple years, she worked in bread bakeries shaping dough every day!). She didn't use paint much until high school. It was a slow and slightly frustrating process, but finally in college when she was taught to work with oils, something clicked. Her time at OCAD offered many opportunities, and she took a variety of electives to learn new skills and mediums. Grace has now discovered crochet and is newly obsessed with yarn.
