Visual art was Gross’ first creative love in this world. As a wee child she would spend hours drawing in front of the TV, painting and eventually expanding in to digital arts. She regularly worked with and within the realms of graphite, pencil crayon, wax crayon, chalk pastel, oil pastel, watercolour, acrylic, clay, wood, papier-maché, textiles and sculpture. Not saying she was great at all of these…but she loved it.

Though the mediums of her practice have certainly expanded since then, visual arts remain an integral part of who she is. Many of her biggest inspirations work under the umbrella of paint, installation and performance arts. This was the craft that taught her dedication and instilled the indescribable joy of seeing something she’d created come to life.
