Grace Harper is an Adelaide-based artist working across painting and installation. Her practice centres on obsessive mark-making and layered gesture: surfaces built slowly through repetition. Drawing on the natural world — water, atmosphere, tide, the patterns that repeat across landscape and body — her work is built to be felt as much as seen. Harper has exhibited across Australia and completed a residency at SOMOS, Berlin in 2025. She works to commission, offering original paintings and made-to-order works through her Adelaide studio.
