Grace Noel The Artist:
Grace Noel is a mixed media fine artist, muralist, installation artist, and owner of Grace Noel Art, LLC. You can visit her studio at the Denver Art Society Underground in Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe Dr at 734 Santa Fe Dr, Denver, CO. The vision of Grace’s work is inspired by being outside in the sunshine and how it all relates to the four elements of fire, earth, wind, and water.
The universe is where it all begins, literally and artistically. Grace is inspired by the stars, and always has been. The stars brought the family together, as she learned astrology from her mom who would talk endlessly about Western and Chinese astrology. At a very young age mom taught me the different constellations and planets looking into the indigo night sky. Mom knew the magic of the stars from constellations, planets, and the old Chicana folk stories of the family ancestors both Spanish, Ute Indian and Pueblo Indian.
From the vastness of space to the ocean’s depths, ultimately it is the Four Elements of Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water that inspire the rainbow pallet of Grace Noel’s Art.
We are all made of sunshine. Sunshine makes the plants grow, the water flow, and the wind blow. So now it is time to go, on a magical journey through the rainbow.
In 2011, Grace began her career as a professional artist with her Bachelors of Fine Arts. She joined the Denver Art Society Artist Co-op/gallery/nonprofit in 2013 and has been showing her art in Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe Dr ever since. She is a founding member of the Denver Art Society – helping build, fund, and sustain the nonprofit art organization. From 2018-2020, Grace Noel served on the Board of Directors for Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe Dr. Finally, Grace is also a business developer, web developer, and consultant for creatives.
