Grace Butterfield

Grace Butterfield is an artist whose background in interior design and fashion informs her appreciation for well-crafted objects and her meticulous artistic style. She values attention to detail, timelessness, and coherence—qualities celebrated in both fashion and interior design. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Art at Griffith University QCA with a major in Studio Art, Grace has been recognised for her academic excellence, receiving an award in 2021. Her talent has also been showcased in several exhibitions, including her selection for the Salon de Refusé, which ran alongside the Brisbane Portrait Prize in the same year, and as a finalist in the 2022 Lethbridge 2000 Small Scale Art Award.

Grace’s preferred medium is traditional oil painting, which she uses to highlight the beauty of simple objects. She believes the depth of oil painting can prompt viewers to pause and appreciate the subject depicted, revealing infinite shades, textures, and memories within even the most mundane things.
