Grace has spent the last 16 years building a substantial and multi-award winning portfolio and has exhibited her work throughout Australia, and was a finalist in the National Photographic Portrait Prize, 2014.

Grace is an official photographer for the Department of Defence and in 2011 had the honour of photographing the Centenary of Royal Military College Duntroon. As part of the celebrations, she was responsible for photographing the Royal Military College Queen’s Colours Parade Featuring Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, during her Diamond Jubilee tour of Australia.

Grace mentors budding photographers and hosts master classes, and is frequently a guest lecturer at the Canberra Institute of Technology. She has also been an official judge and guest-speaker at a number of colleges and photography groups throughout the ACT.

Grace’s work has been acquired by many private collections both nationally and internationally. Her work is inspired by documentary photography, particularly character portraits.

Grace is currently represented by The Photography Room Gallery, Canberra.
