We asked Grace some questions...

Grace's playful and self-reflective work has been featured in over 50 galleries and museums worldwide. You can find her on Instagram @artbabygirl or at her website: gracemiceli.com - Let's hear what she has to say:

 

  • How would you define your style?

Bursting with color and emotion.

 

  • What’s your favorite technique?

I’ve been loving finding digital brushes that look like actual markers, makes working so much easier and playful.

 

  • Who or what is your biggest inspiration/s?

Miranda July, Gregg Araki, and Pema Chödrön

 

  • How did it all start?

I’ve been making art my whole life but I started drawing at the end of college because I was broke but still wanted to make art every day!

 

  • Do you have a tip for those who are starting out?

Find friends and peers in the field for support and connection. Being an artist can be lonely sometimes.

 

  • Favorite app/program?

I love Procreate and brushes made by True Grit Texture Supply.

 

  • Why do you use StickerApp?

I love the quality, colors and amazingly cool special materials and effects :)

 

  • What’s your favorite material? why?

I used the Holographic material for a recent sticker that is meant to look like a cd case and it worked perfectly. 

 

  • How do you use stickers for your own business/personal brand?

Stickers were the first merchandise I ever made of my artwork, almost 15 years ago. I love that they are affordable, accessible and have so many uses.
