Gray Griffin

Visual Art – Raleigh

Not all artists live for wanderlust or have the means to manifest goals of putting paint on canvas and stamps in their passport.. Gray Griffin, a native of Chapel Hill, NC is doing both. With an MA degree in painting from East Carolina University, Gray has taken her artist\'s roaming eye to Sao Paulo, Brazil, northern Italy, Washington, DC.., and most recently the Mexican \"Riviera\". Returning to NC she established \"BeansproutArt, an art school at the home where she grew up. It once again is a home for Gray, her two children, and a puppy named DiReaux. The challenge of melding home, studio, parenthood, and day-job hasn\'t stopped Gray from leaping those hurdles and more. Her recent one-woman show at \"This \'n That\" gallery in Carrboro was a resounding success. A few of her dynamic, thought provoking pieces are still available there.
