| Connie Grace saw her first white-line woodcut at an exhibition by the Provincetown Printers at the National Collection of Fine Arts in Wash, DC. She fell in love with the simplicity of the design and the freshness of the watercolor. Until then she was mostly doing linocuts in the reduction method and printing on a press. Making prints with watercolors and printing by hand was a real departure but she began experimenting on her own. |  |
 |
When an opportunity arose to study the technique with Ruth Hogan in Orleans, MA, she grabbed it. Connie and a friend spent an intense three days with Ruth in the dead of winter, working morning until night. That was in 1985 and she has been "white-lining" ever since. |
| Connie Attended the prestigious High School of Music and Art, Brooklyn College, the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC and The Art League in Alexandria, VA. As well as classes with many private teachers. |  |
 |
Her white-line woodcuts are in the permanent collections of Georgetown University, The Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires, The National Institute of Health, Bell Atlantic and Lang Communications, among others. |
Other prints are in the collections of the Library of Congress, The National Museum of Women in the Ars, the Corcoran Gallery and more.
