Grace McIntyre-Willis

Adjunct Faculty - Design

Grace McIntyre-Willis is an interdisciplinary creator and collaborator. They earned their MFA in Digital Arts in the Spring of 2025 from Tulane University, where they helped build and manage a collaborative Digital Ceramics lab cofounded by the School of Architecture and the Newcomb Art Department.

Their practice employs digital technology to theorize the technological opportunity to push the collaboration between what is 'natural' and 'robotic', as a conduit for information, to automate ecological systems, and to visualize the surreal.

As a creator working with a variety of media, Grace seeks opportunities to work alongside other disciplines to enrich both artistic and scientific research. Most recently, Grace was funded to visit a remote ecological research station in the Chocò rainforests of northwestern Ecuador, where they worked closely with biologists to create 3D photogrammetry models of botanical specimens to be placed in an open-access digital library.
