For an international biennial and the Concept/OK: Art in Oklahoma exhibition, Grace Grothaus has developed an A.R. (augmented reality) smartphone application with her mixed media and painted landscape images.
The app is designed to replace the digital representation of an image as captured through our smartphone cameras with her painted version of the scene. Visitors to the exhibition may take a tour of the neighborhood with their own smartphones or a printed map to view the pieces.

Grothaus has been exhibiting multimedia art for over a decade. She has received grants & awards from the Oklahoma Visual Arts Council, the Kansas City Art Institute, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. Her work has been featured in This Land Press, OETA, and Yahoo.com.
This year marks her first International exhibition, the World Creativity Biennale in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She is represented by the MA Doran Gallery and JRB Art at the Elms. What excites Grothaus most about her artworks are their ability to speak about the complex and beautiful world around us.
