“Of course my work has political dimensions, but my focus is really the human faces, the human struggle, the epic journey,” Hung Liu, artist

Grace Roselli is a multidisciplinary artist whose four-decade practice spans photography, painting, and curatorial work—united by an enduring interest in feminist myth, visibility, and cultural inheritance. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, she studied under Emilio Vedova in Venice and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her solo exhibitions have appeared in New York, Philadelphia, and beyond, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, ArtCritical, Vasari 21, and Woman Rider.

Earlier projects like Uncanny Lady M, which reimagined Shakespeare’s Macbeth through the lens of female power and violence, and Naked Bike, a photographic series exploring vulnerability and confrontation on two wheels, laid the groundwork for her long-form approach to portraiture and narrative.

Roselli is the recipient of awards from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund, the Puffin Foundation, and the Brooklyn Arts Council. Her current project, Pandora’s BoxX, is a growing portrait archive of women artists and cultural practitioners—cis, trans, and non-binary—who have shaped the art world since the 1960s. With over 300 portraits completed toward a goal of 360, the series reimagines legacy, care, and recognition in contemporary art.
