Grace Jin is an artist and medical student living in San Francisco, working in painting, calligraphy, and installation. She was born in Ohio but raised in rural Zhejiang, China by her grandparents, a traditional Chinese medicine physician and Chinese calligrapher.
Grace’s practice in art, just as in medicine, is a ritual quest for healing—to soften pain, caress grief, alchemize memory, combining studies of medicine, ancestral spirituality, decolonial theory and radical feminist literature to imagine new worlds of rapture and collective liberation.
Grace is currently a studio artist at Root Division. She received a BA in Global Affairs from Yale University, is studying at Stanford School of Medicine, and will be pursuing a MFA at California College of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited at Coulter Gallery, Stanford; SOMArts, San Francisco; Good Mother Studio, Oakland; Yale on York, New Haven; and published in Anastomosis, The Yale Layer, and Fronds: a Stanford Anthology of Environmental Justice Storytelling.
