Grace Cheu is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans animation, painting, and other visual mediums, united by a passion for authentic storytelling through emotive visual styles and traditional tools. She enjoys working intuitively and experimenting beyond conventional approaches, while remaining mindful that execution should serve the story rather than become an end in itself. Grace often tells stories with a gentle, contemplative voice, using subtle themes and motifs to convey deep human understanding without needing to be explicitly stated.

Guided by a hope to spread peace, love, and comfort, she draws inspiration from everyday moments, overlooked details, and cherished experiences with loved ones. Her work frequently reflects a sense of awe and wonder toward people and the world around her. The first short film she worked on, Goodbye Old Fish—a heartfelt tribute to her parents’ experiences growing up in old Singapore—remains one of her most personal projects, reinforcing her belief that art comes alive when rooted in one’s own voice: unafraid, honest, and free from external expectations.
Seeing art as a lifestyle in which each moment can be valued, appreciated, and translated into new stories, Grace hopes to further her storytelling through world-building and sincere characters.
