A Unique Vision

Documenting the Transition of Chicago's Architecture

 

Grace Lai is a colorful Chicago Artist, specializing in the historical "on-site" documentation of Chicago's ever evolving architecture.

 

Her spectacular paintings capture the dramatic demolition and ongoing gargantuan construction of Chicago's skyline.

 

Her paintings of Pen & Ink with Watercolor wash are proudly displayed in many fine establishments: Six of Grace's originals are a part of the Amoco Oil Corporation's permanent collection in Naperville, Illinois.  The new Northwestern hospital's Fineberg pavilion's 14th floor, hosts several of Grace's works, as does the Department of Buildings, (Room 900), in Chicago's City Hall.
