Grace Peterson’s desire to create art has existed since childhood. She painted primarliy in oils and then turned to stained glass for many years, designing and fabricating windows,
art panels and lamps. Later in life, she received a degree in Studio Art from Montgomery College where she was introduced to watercolor and found herself intrigued by the medium.

Various classes and workshops have expanded her techniques and her work has reached beyond the realm of traditional watercolors. Her current images are an expression of her responses to nature through experimental watermedia. Grace considers painting the subject of her work and nature as her inspiration.
