Their collaboration on the book “Ode to Happiness,” the picture book aimed at an adult audience, was so well received that they decided to join forces again in 2016 on a second book, called “Shadows.” Indeed, they appear to enjoy each other’s company. They were photographed together for the Spanish edition of Vogue, for example, and attended many book signings as a duo.
And Grant couldn’t stop welling with pride about the actor in interviews to promote “Shadows” – a book that combined her silhouette photography with his poetic words.
Grant Originally Came from Ohio
Grant studied history and studio art at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. After graduating in 1994, she began to make a name for herself on the art scene. Grant is renowned for her artwork, particularly her paintings and sculptures, which are usually inspired by the spoken word of fellow creatives.
It's worth noting, too, that Grant had also had experience in the film world when she took the director's chair for the first time to shoot a 60-minute documentary. The movie centered around the return of a tombstone that had been unlawfully taken from the state of Nebraska.
Talented Artist
Grant has been good with languages from an early age, too, having spent a portion of her adolescence in Mexico, France, and Spain. She’s also had her work displayed at venues such as New York’s Harris Lieberman Gallery, Paris’ Galerie Gradiva, as well as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
And, of course, it was at her gala appearance with Reeves at LACMA that Grant’s profile as an artist skyrocketed.
More Than Meets the Eye
At a particular interview, a journalist from the Los Angeles Times indeed seemed to understand that there was more than meets the eye to his relationship with Grant. In the piece, the reporter observed that the two friends share easy compatibility and spoke in easy conversations kindled by inside jokes and appreciating smiles.
Meanwhile, in another 2016 interview, Grant explained how she and Reeves encourage and inspire each other when collaborating, adding that they can spend a lot of time debating.
Helen Mirren?
However, it was their ease as friends and how they could relate as professionals that gradually led to a full-blown romantic relationship. And they seemingly can't hide their joy as they posed for photos together.
Their appearance as a couple prompted a flurry of conversation on the internet. Most of it centered on Grant's identity, with many people thinking she was Helen Mirren.
