Shades of Red, by Grace Macqueen

Formerly a film producer, Grace made the creative transition to fine art photographer in 1997. She's an explorer of abstraction, delving into the realms of texture, color, and composition by uncovering art within found objects. From scouring ancient walls in Europe to exploring local industrial sites, she seeks out weathered stone, rusted metal, and distressed paint, finding beauty in the overlooked details of urban decay.

When capturing architecture, Grace gravitates toward intimate corners or slices of buildings, offering viewers a glimpse into the soul of the structure. Her sea and landscapes often embrace a soft focus, inviting interpretation over realism, while reflections in water and glass inspire her with their distorted properties. Grace's photographic journey occasionally shifts towards more representational subject matter, celebrating the beauty of nature or the intricate creations of humanity in both urban and scenic settings.

Through her lens, she invites viewers to see the world through a new perspective, where abstraction meets reality in a harmonious dance of light and form.
