Grace Qian is a realist oil painter based in Toronto, Canada. She graduated from Etobicoke School of the Arts in 2020 and is currently earning her BFA at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. Grace started to develop an interest in art when she was 7. Her recent practice revolves primarily around oil painting and drawing.
