About

Grace Summers is a 20-year-old emerging artist living in Glengarry, Lutruwita (Tasmania).

She has been lucky to have known from a young age that art was always going to be a lifelong joy and career path, and has been actively working towards that since the beginning of her educational journey. Currently studying for a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Photography, her practice is deeply anchored in a continuous journey of self-discovery, through exploration of self and the relationship between unique encounters with nature, place and culture.

Grace views the (fine) arts as something that people should embrace and experience; she does this through her active role as the Fine Arts Student Ambassador for UTAS Launceston, where she attends school open days and events to bring the (Fine) Arts to the forefront of academics. 

In her upcoming project, It Will Come Back (2025), Grace explores her deep contemplation of her Celtic heritage and the Australian landscape that raised her. The work explores tension between memory and identity, permanence and fragility. Through the process of cyanotype photography, imprinting onto glass, she seeks to reconnect with ancestral rhythms and honour the spiritual continuity of place and lineage.
