Grace Slick

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, Cal­i­for­nia home.
