ABOUT GRACE
Grace Kettell specializes in photorealism, creating precise and objective graphite drawings, pastel, and oil paintings. The daughter of a naval officer, she has lived in California, Washington, Connecticut, and Hawaii; and now resides in Fauquier County, Virginia. Grace had many traveling experiences, giving her opportunities since childhood to observe and sketch life along the way. She studied under four artists in her teen years and keenly developed her style while consistently drawing and painting in her home studio.
Completing her first commission in 2006, Grace recreates life in representation art for her clients, giving them a unique and custom experience that will last for generations. Her fine art pastels have been on display in the nation’s capitol building two years in a row as winner of the Annual Congressional Art Competition for the 1st District of Virginia. She also painted the 1st District ornament for the 2008 White House Christmas tree.
Providing tutoring and private art lessons at the Workhouse Arts Center, she passes on her love for fine art to those seeking to expand their skills, abilities and techniques.
