Grace Bio is an artist that uses her gifts to bring awareness to the world of the beauty we have within us while paying tribute to what came before us. Her work has the strong, visual signature of urban culture, but is also enormously poetic and evocative. The visual approach she takes in articulating emotions, not only reaches many on a personal level, but also creates a timeline of her own spiritual growth.
She exhibited her work & performed throughout the East Coast and San Francisco, California, been a guest artist for numerous events and programs and was previously an Art Director for an education company in Jacksonville, Florida - a nationally accredited, artistically centered K-12 S.T.E.A.M curriculum, with her illustrations & graphic designs in use in 48 programs nationwide.
Her artwork was featured in the exhibit "I am The Dream My Ancestors Dreamed Would Free Them (A Conversation About Decolonization and Re-membering Ancestors through the Arts)" at Queens Museum (NYC); “SAMASAMA: Art Show & Gathering” (An exhibition honoring Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in Washington, D.C.); “Raised Pinay” (an all-Filipina cast play in NYC); LAKAS Zine (NYC); The Filipino American Artist Directory / 2018 Edition (St. Louis, MO); “WOMEN TO THE FRONT | Volume III,” an immersive experience of music, art, video and performance to celebrate and showcase women in the art world at Superchief Gallery (NYC); and, most recently, as one of the international visual artists for “The Divine Coloring Book” - a multicultural, 90+ page coloring book for people of all ages featuring folklore and spirituality of the Philippines, Haiti and Brazil.
Currently, she is part of The 8X10 COLLECTIVE, a group consisting of the Bio siblings (Grace, Leo & Gigi Bio) collaborating on projects and exhibitions internationally; an active contributor to the Jacksonville Filipino community such as "Filipino Pride Day,” “Jax Filipinos United” and “Jax Filipino Chefs” (community-centered platforms to bring awareness of Filipino American talent in Duval County); serves as an K-12 art educator for ARTLIFE Productions (Jacksonville, Florida); has her own company, “HER PATH COLLECTION” (a pop-up boutique featuring curated global handmade and vintage treasures); and is an active freelance illustrator, painter, graphic designer, muralist and live artist.
