It all began with a rusty metal sign.

I (Grace) went to school in East LA, and while there, my mom wandered into a neighborhood shop and found an old rusty sign for Grace’s Palm Beauty Shop, which had been located on Colorado Boulevard (many) years prior.

That classic piece of Americana traveled with me out to Wyoming, where I now live with my husband, two young kids and assortment of rescue animals. I am an artist and a collector of old things, and am constantly searching for beauty in all of the weird places (they are the most beautiful, if you look hard enough.)

Thanks for being here.
