Grace Hopkins was born in Hyannis and grew up splitting time between New York City and Wellfleet.  She attended Friends Seminary in NYC for high school and then Hampshire College in Amherst and graduated with a BFA from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.  Of her work, Grace says: “They are photographs, but people think they are paintings. Technically, they are straight photographs taken of actual things that exist in the world and are not manipulated, but they look like and feel like abstract paintings. Emotionally, they are all about painting.”

I want my work to invoke thoughts and emotions that will take the viewer on a visual journey.”
