In a solo exhibition held in Bahrain during the Annual Spring of Culture, McGee Ferrell presented a dynamic series of interactive paintings inspired by the Formula 1 Grand Prix. In 2024, she also represented the U.S. State Department in Saudi Arabia, where she led discussions on the intersection of artificial intelligence and artistic expression. Her academic background includes degrees from Mount Holyoke College and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

This interactive series made its debut during the Dubai Spring 2025 event.
