The Connector Next Door with Lisa Gareau
Grace Gee, Transformative Artist, Transitional Expert, and Natural Connector
My long-time, dear friend, Grace Gee, is a Chinese Canadian who now resides in Louisville, Colorado.
Grace has lived and worked in Canada, the US and Hong Kong and has traveled widely in Europe and Asia.
It was over 25 years ago that we met in Calgary, working side by side at a postal plant conveyor belt sorting holiday packages to their final destinations. We both knew our time there would be short lived, but our friendship endured.
Grace is an artist.
Her life and work as an artist have been deeply influenced by her bi-cultural upbringing and she’s strongly rooted in spiritual growth, healing, and transformation.
As she explains in our conversation today, her art holds space for vulnerability to exist, and her upcoming installation is evidence of how deeply that is true for her.
Grace has exhibited across the US, in both group and solo exhibitions and her award-winning work has brought her invitations to exhibitions, artist residencies, interviews, and even published works.
What a joy, on this my last episode of Season one, to sit down and explore how art can awaken us to the value and importance of deep connection with each other.
You can find Grace on her website HERE ( www.HealingGraceStudio.com ) and on Instagram HERE.

• Denver Zoo (at the Toyota Elephant Plaza) on May 15th for the AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Heritage Celebration Event.
