Grace Baggot, a native New Yorker, now lives both in a Rhode Island fishing village and on a farm by the Mediterranean Sea at the foot of the mountains in the south of Italy. She dwells in Italy within a stubbornly matriarchal, agrarian culture. It is formed of seasons for planting, growing and harvesting. It's focus is on creating and the joy of nurturing, on the strengths of home and family and friendship.

Grace's symbols, her ideas and cathedrals are about the sublime within the simple acts of living.

She makes her paintings late at night, her materials laid out like a Japanese tea service on a low table. She sits on the floor before the fireplace.

Her work celebrates nurturing as the method of hope and joyful progress. Grace is a woman fully, consciously and precisely celebrating these particular elements of existence.
