Hey everyone and welcome back to Big Mad True Crime where we get Big Mad over True Crime.

I'm your host Heather Ashley and today we leave the US and head to Beautiful New Zealand

Small talk is a waste of verbal space so let's dive in.

Grace Malaine was a beautiful young aspiring artist from Essex England and was absurdly

talented.

She specialized in these badass modern watercolor paintings of animals, people in nature

or seriously.

Her portfolio is mind blowing.

I'll be sure to link it for you in her highlight on my Instagram.

I would without a doubt buy her work I even checked if it was still an option but spoiler alert

it doesn't look like it is.

She had a huge group of friends was close with her brothers and her parents, her social

life was popping and her wingliner was on point.

Grace was goals.

She had recently graduated college where she got a degree in advertising and marketing,

there on November 20th.
