Grace Jin was born in Ohio but raised by her grandparents in Yueqing, a fishing town in southeastern China bordered by the Yandang mountains and Pacific Ocean. She comes from four generations of village healers, a lineage she carries today as an artist and medical student living on unceded Ohlone land, San Francisco. Grace’s practice in art, just as in medicine, is a ritual quest for healing—using painting and calligraphy to metabolize studies of biomedical science, decolonial theory, radical feminist literature, and ancestral spirituality rooted in her Buddhist, Christian and Taoist upbringing.
Grace received a BA in Global Affairs from Yale University. She is studying at Stanford School of Medicine and pursuing a MFA from California College of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited at galleries in San Francisco, Oakland, Albany, Stanford, and New Haven.
