Grace Haverty
Personal Profile
Growing up in the New York City area afforded me the opportunity to visit the Brooklyn Museum of Art as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Although I loved art, I never considered pursuing a career in that field. I worked for an advertising agency on Madison Avenue until my husband Michael and I moved to Illinois.
After years of studying, I am now a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, and the Pastel Society of America as a Master Pastelist. Additionally, I teach painting classes in Scottsdale, Arizona and Minnesota
​
I paint with an array of colorful paints in a loose and sassy method. I almost always paint flowers and vegetables from life since nuances are lost in a photo. I have been told by many of my collectors that my paintings "makes me happy".
