Grace Chen is a Taiwanese-American ceramic sculptor.
She created her first pinch pot in kindergarten, but it wasn't until her second year at university that she began working with clay again — this time, from a non-functional perspective. After a year of Pre-Pharmacy studies at Purdue, she completed dual degrees in Art History and Ceramics and a minor in Design. From 2012 to 2016, she worked in the Fine Art appraisal industry, academia, and corporate before moving to New York in 2016 for a directorship at a French gallery on the Lower East Side. Grace worked for galleries in Chelsea and SoHo before being invited to serve as the Executive Director of the CFS Foundation.
Currently, Grace works as the Director of Viridian Artists, an artist-owned and professionally-operated gallery in Chelsea.
