Artist

Grace Crabtree

Grace Crabtree is an artist based in Bridport, West Dorset. Her paintings, often using the ancient techniques of egg tempera and buon fresco, are rooted in landscape, water, and deep time – drawing in particular from the coastlines and hills of Dorset and Cyprus, and unearthing the geological and mythological narratives of these terrains.

Since graduating from the Ruskin School of Art in 2019, Grace has exhibited across the UK. Her debut solo show, Elemental Drift, was held at Bridport Arts Centre in 2024 following ‘The Art of Fresco’, a studio and research project (2022-23). She has attended artist residencies in France, Portugal, and Cyprus, and has recently completed the Turps Correspondence Course. 

“I’m trying to delve deeper into the landscape, so the works might give a sense of really inhabiting a place; or so that you see it from a different, perhaps more-than-human, vantage point.” - Grace Crabtree

"These really speak to me, mainly as I live in the landscape she is painting. The rich depictions of the cliffs, rocks and ocean. The Jurassic coast is so ancient and her painting techniques reflect this. Her work is thoughtful and pensive." - Jess Wheeler
"I’m always drawn to landscape paintings as there is such a rich history of the genre. Grace’s medium, egg tempura, is also a traditional way of painting. In Grace’s work both the genre of english landscape and the medium of egg tempera are re-imagined as she gives the work a modernity and luminosity." - Jonathan Brook
