Gracie Safranovich is a multimedia artist from rural Spruce Grove, Alberta. In March 2021, she exhibited her work “May Flowers” at the Mile Zero Dance Spazio Gallery. She will graduate with a Diploma in Fine Arts from MacEwan University in spring 2021. Starting in the fall, Gracie will be pursing a Bachelor in Fine Arts at the University of Alberta.

Gracie’s work is inspired by information and concepts in the fields of biology, mycology, and botany, as well as aesthetics from the Victorian era, cottagecore, and those found in nature. Gracie applies these concepts and aesthetics into artworks that showcase the beauty, processes, details, and mysteries of the natural world, in addition to raising questions about human’s relationship to the world and other living things around them. Working with a variety of modes, including illustration, quilting, sewing, embroidery, video and installation, her works evoke a sense of beauty and gentleness that both contrast and compliment the themes explored in her works.
