GRACE AFONSO is an observational artist. She focuses on capturing the fleeting energy of the moment and is influenced by the vibrancy of modern colours and the fluidity of oil paints. Rather than expressly copy the information that she sees, she lets the spirit of the subject matter guide her.
Born in Sudbury, Ontario, Grace Afonso lived in many small towns across Ontario and a
few years in Portugal before finally settling in Hamilton where she lives today. By good fortune Afonso attended a specialty arts high school where she was introduced to a variety of mediums and her passion for art was sparked.
