About James Nace, who came up with the idea for this fundraiser:
James started painting on his own in the late 1990's. "Painting is a way to express myself. I start a painting and the world disappears for a few days." James also likes to make hooked rugs and recently has experimented with paper mache sculpture. James manifests his unique personality with his fashion statements, his sense of humor, his love of cooking, and his passion for cats.
James Nace grew up in Pennsylvania. After living in Montpelier, Vermont, for many years, he has returned to his home state. During his move, he had to give up his two beloved cats, and he homed them with a no-kill shelter. James asked GRACE to raffle off some of his artwork to support no-kill shelters, in addition to supporting himself as an artist and the community arts organization, GRACE, that cultivates creativity among people of all ages in the Northeast Kingdom.
