First of all, you can only see the light that is reflected from things (you don't see the thing itself), and gravity doesn't reflect light. Gravitational lensing, however, is the displacement of light due to the warping of space by a gravitational lens (a massive object in space that bends light that passes by it, due to the gravitational forces). This is a way that gravity can be "seen."

I don't know about seeing, but I certainly feel it when I trip and fall.
One way you can "see" gravity is through gravitational lensing. Gravity can bend light creating the same effect like how a glass lens bends light Go here and look http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap011007.html

It's quite safe to say you ARE gravity, you're made up of it. If there was no planet, you would attract all objects around you. Reality is made up of mass and the space in between objects with mass. Mass bends the fabric of space-time.

because gravity is a force and forces cant be seen. you can however, see the effects of gravity, ex. we stay on the ground because of the earth's gravity, the earth orbits the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull.
