Grace Hager ’15, MFA ’23
Grace Hager is a Portland, Maine-based painter and ceramic sculptor. Her work locates the natural world as a realm of possibility: a source of transformative encounters that generate awe, positioning the magical within the observable world. For Grace, such experiences in the landscape stand out as moments where empirical, fantastical, and emotional worlds begin to intermingle. Her use of prismatic light and spectral, ‘rainbow’ coloring becomes a visual strategy to give form to these feelings to reinforce that life is good and contains the potential for more beauty, magic, and awe. She holds a Master of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting with a Minor in Art History both from Maine College of Art & Design.
