Loralee Grace

Painter and environmental justice activist. Loralee spent more than a decade traveling around the world, going to countries as far apart on the globe as Iceland and New Zealand. She has also been to Israel and occupied Palestine. Her time in Australia during a major fire was especially influential on her art practice.

Randiah Camille Green, "Loralee Grace tackles environmental racism in ‘Futurelands’", Metro Times, February 14 — 20, 2024, p. 32. "Because Grace travels as a low-budget nomad, she often finds herself in remote villages, which she says gives her more authentic chances to connect with local people."
