Some say Grace McDunnough may have been the unlikely digital love child of Andy Warhol without the soup can and Janis Joplin without the drugs - a hypnotic mix of subtle yet defiant artistic imagery blended with evocative, heart stopping musical highlights that permeates the veils of geography, culture and genre. On the digital landscape words, prims and melodies find themselves "Graceified" - twisted, reshaped and lovingly crafted into experiences that defy categorization.

While at any single moment, Grace may be a thinker [http://phasinggrace.blogspot.com], bard, singer/songwriter, or an experiential artist, it's the passionate blend of these that will leave your heart pounding, your soul laughing and your mind racing toward the possibilities of our new existence in virtual spaces.
