Three miles from USP Leavenworth, Grace was born into an Arab and Irish-American military family that lived in Kansas City, Boston, rural Pennsylvania, Germany, and Washington, D.C. during their childhood. With a keen eye for blending disparate found elements, Gigi seamlessly weaves together various mediums– from painting to sculpture to found objects– to construct nostalgia-inspired visual experiences. Their art serves as a powerful exploration of identity, resilience, and the complexities of the human experience.
