Grace
Slick was born on October 30, 1939, in
Evanston, a Suburb of Chicago Il. Her
father was an investment banker, and her
mother was a singer in the early 0’s.
After moving to Southern California in
the mid 40’s, they finally settled
in Palo Alto, Ca. Grace stayed in the
Bay Area until she left to attend Finch
college in New England. She later attended
the university of Miami and studied art
before returning to San Francisco, shortly
before she joined her first band, the
Great Society in 1965.
After a short time Grace and some of her
fellow band mates formed the legendary
group Jefferson Airplane and went on to
Record some of rock histories most noted
classic songs, including
“White Rabbit” and “Somebody to Love”.
Through the next 20 years Grace continued
to become an icon of popular culture,
music and and a new generation, through
her signature style music and out spoken
presence. Over the years she and her band
mates took several forms including Jefferson
Starship, Starship and for Grace several
solo albums with Paul Kantner, but always
remaining a touchstone in Rock and Roll.
in 1989 Grace put down the mike for the
very last time and without missing a beat
she picked up her brush. As a continuation
of her life long work as an artist. Where
she once expressed her insightful observations
of the world around her and within through
voice, she is now speaking through her
paintings.
In 2000 Grace began sharing her works
with the world in art exhibitions. Since
that time Grace Slick’s art has
shown in some of the most revered galleries
and much like with her music, she has
attracted a devoted following of art collectors
who have found the same power on her canvas’ as
once was in her music.
When Grace is not traveling to art openings
around the world she lives and paints
in her Malibu, CA home. |
