Graceann Warn is an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based studio artist whose backgrounds in landscape architecture and classical archaeology heavily dictate her style. Her art centers around "palimpsests"—surfaces that have been layered, scraped down, covered up, and revealed over time.

Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, she became highly celebrated for exactly this type of small-scale, meticulously structured textile and object assemblage.
Prestigious Collections: Her works are held in permanent collections globally, including Yale University, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and multiple U.S. Embassies abroad.
