Grace Kawall is a multi-talented Brazilean textile artist living in Ubatuba, from where she spreads cheer around the world. She has had over 40 exhibits in the U.S. and other countries.

Her enthusiasm and intensity are contagious not only in her exuberant textile paintings—which she hand quilts—but in her beautiful home and landscape as well.

She will be visiting NYC soon, but in the meantime she sends the customary “big hug” (typical LatinAmerican style greeting), to all of us.

Um grande abraço, Grace!
