Grace Noel is a mixed media fine artist, muralist, installation artist, teacher, and owner of Grace Noel Art, LLC. She received her Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in 2011.  Her studio is open to the public 7 days a week in the Denver Art Society Underground in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe Dr at 734 Santa Fe Dr, Denver, CO.  Grace's work is inspired by the magical oneness that connects us all and her artwork paints this theme through the rainbow color palette of the four elements of fire (red), earth (green), wind (yellow), and water (blue).

As a girl, Grace gained an appreciation for her place in the universe through her family’s indigenous folk stories, her mother’s knowledge of astrology, and later - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Genetics.  Grace’s mother is an indigenous Colorado Chicana who raised her on the food, culture, and the old folk stories passed down from the family’s Spanish, Ute Indian and Pueblo Indian ancestors of Colorado and New Mexico. These youthful experiences provided Grace with a deep appreciation for the oneness we all share with mother nature, the spirit realm, and the universe. 

As a professional artist, Grace wanted to create artwork inspired by the oneness of the earth, stars, and life itself.  Grace’s knowledge of science, metaphysics, and native folklore inspired her belief that these different forms of knowledge were all communicating very similar concepts and just using different language to do so. She decided the commonality was the Four Elements of Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water.  The four elements inspired the theme, rainbow palette of Grace’s artwork, and artist statement: We are all made of sunshine. Sunshine makes the plants grow, the water flow, and the wind blow. So now it is time to go on a magical journey through the rainbow.

In February 2013, Grace began her career as a professional artist by creating Grace Noel Art. Also, she joined the Denver Art Society Artist Co-op/gallery/nonprofit and she is a founding member - helping build, fund, and sustain the nonprofit art organization to the present day.  In 2016, Grace converted Grace Noel Art into an LLC and became a full time professional artist in 2017.  From 2018-2020, Grace served on the Board of Directors for Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe Dr. From 2018-2023, Grace is part of the core team of Spectra Art Space, a female owned and operated art gallery in Denver.
