Grace Lang is a mixed media artist and educator based in upstate New York, where she creates both two and three dimensional work that invites playful interpretation of personal myths. She is particularly interested in tactile processes informed by her work with children, seeking to channel her own inner child through openness and material experimentation. These days, she is engaged in a new form of world-building, exploring an imagined language of creatures and icons, many of which are taken from her own childhood drawings. This body of work is a joyful window into her past, but as it has emerged during her first years of motherhood, it’s become a peephole into possible futures. In addition to her personal art practice, Grace runs Super-Stories, an art education non-profit and Makers Space with her partner.
