About the Artist
Graceann was born in 1955 and raised in New Jersey. She began her art career after realizing that being a Landscape Architect was not the path for her. After a chance encounter and a rather intense emotional response to viewing a Mark Rothko art exhibit, she realized her true calling and decided to become an artist. She has been a full time studio artist since 1985 with artwork exhibited and collected nationally & internationally. She now lives in Ann Arbor and has merged beautifully with the artist’s culture and has been one of the lucky ones to make a living solely off of her art.

This coming year Warn will once again be showing her artwork at the critically acclaimed SOFA Chicago art gala and will be taking part in The Artist Project in New York. The Artist Project is an exhibition that offers collectors, curators, dealers and the public direct access to a juried selection of emerging artists and established talent.

Graceann lives in in Ann Arbor, Michigan with her husband Geoff.

“Sotto Voce” is Italian and translates to “in an undertone.” Graceann explains, “I decided to call my show at River Gallery Sotto Voce because it describes the intent of the paintings while also speaking to the process I undertake to make the paintings. “Sotto Voce” implies a hushed tone, a whisper- it is something spoken under the breath. The surfaces of my paintings obscure and hint at underlying messages without giving too much away which allows for a certain amount of interpretation by those viewing them.”

Graceann is available for interviews. For more information please contact Natalie or Melissa at the River Gallery in Chelsea.
