Commissions: Why yes, I would like to paint a place that's special to you or a loved one. Thank you for asking!
Fill out the form below to let me know you're interested in a commission, and we'll go from there. All I will need is a picture and a little more info on your vision and timeline. (For stranger-danger reasons, I ask that you fill out the form first, and I will respond by asking for the picture you'd like me to paint.) I charge the same for commissions as I do pre-made work, so don't be intimidated. Please note that I do not paint animals or humans.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!

I'm Grace Trautman (she/her)

In October 2022, I opened a Free Little Art Gallery in my front yard (think free little lending library, but for art). Before opening day, I made several tiny pieces of art – wanting to show future visitors the wide variety of medium and skill level that was welcome in our gallery. Through this process I re-discovered several styles and techniques for making art, including printmaking, acrylic painting, collage, clay, and eventually, watercolor, which has become my preferred medium.

I decided to paint landscapes because of their vast and expansive beauty, and the delight of capturing it, and building upon it, in such a small space. Because the paintings are only 1.5 x 2 inches each, I can be meticulous about every single detail, and work it until I really like what I see – while still finishing an entire piece in one evening after my 9 - 5 job.

I currently live in Denver, Colorado. Although I've spent almost a decade in Denver, I am a Pacific Northwest Girl at heart, and it often shows in the subjects of my work. Give me a glacier lake and a hemlock, and I'm one happy painter!
