Mary Grace has been taking photos for as long as she can remember, starting with a small pink Nikon digital camera and now shooting with her beloved Olympus film camera. With a deep fascination for digital culture and understanding the evolving world, she has experimented with AI in both imagegen and videogen. Beyond this, Mary Grace expresses her creative identity through various outlets such as ceramics, drawing, and writing.
She has crafted visuals for live concerts and events through research and experimentation with emerging AI software. By leveraging prompt engineering, she's extracted precise, impactful visions from various language and visual models. Her years of experience working in a music venue have given her a deep understanding of the live music industry, which has allowed her to blend this expertise with her passion for creating meaningful visual experiences.
Mary Grace holds a degree in Communications with a minor in Music, Stage, and Sports Production from Colorado State University. There, she was a founding member of Tree Stump Films, the university’s PBS-partnered documentary program, where she worked as a producer for the team and was able to direct a short documentary. This experience solidified her passion for collaboration and media production, which she continues to pursue as a production assistant on music video sets. She was also a digital strategist for CSU's Rocky Mountain Student Media, where she managed marketing campaigns across platforms, honing her understanding of the digital landscape and enhancing her ability to collaborate with clients and creatives.
While at CSU, Mary Grace was a member of the Center for Public Deliberation, facilitating community conversations across Northern Colorado on polarizing topics. Through these dialogues, she learned the importance of value-driven communication and inclusive language to foster understanding. This experience deepened her appreciation for the power of language, not only in navigating complex issues but in everyday communication. She is particularly passionate about applying these skills in media settings, where messages can have unpredictable levels of impact. Mary Grace believes that polarization harms both democracy and creativity, and at the heart of her philosophy is the belief that communication is the backbone of all forms of creation.
A lifelong enthusiast of media, pop culture, and fashion, Mary Grace draws inspiration from her inner child, whose curiosity and creativity continue to guide her exploration of the ever-evolving digital landscape.
