Juliet Fiss is a computer scientist and mathematical artist from Kirkland, WA. She has a B.S. in Imaging Science from Rochester Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. In Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Washington. Her paintings are visualizations of mathematics and computer science algorithms, inspired by her interests in computer vision, signal processing, and quantum computing.

As an undergraduate at RIT, Fiss began developing the open-source mathematical visualization software SignalShow, which has been used to create visual demonstrations for classes and textbooks. This experience sparked her interest in mathematical visualization and STEM education. Her mathematical paintings are a colorful, tactile, and large-scale medium for expressing mathematical intuition and inspiring a love for math.

Fiss has shown her art at Ryan James Fine Arts, Kirkland Arts Center Gallery, Nino Studio, M. Rosetta Hunter Gallery at Seattle Central College, ArtMa Popup Gallery, Design Within Reach, Seattle Artist League Gallery, Bridges Math Art at Joint Mathematics Meetings, Slip Gallery, Seattle Universal Math Museum and MIVAL Gallery.

Fiss has worked at several tech companies, including Google and Microsoft. She received awards for her work in both computer science and art, including the NVIDIA Graduate Research Fellowship and the Curator’s Award at Visual Impressions 2023, held at Ryan James Fine Arts. Her art has been featured on the King 5 Evening News, Capitol Hill Seattle Blog, New Visionary Magazine, Kirkland and Mercer Island City Lifestyle Magazines, and publications by the American Mathematical Society. Her large-scale paintings are in the permanent collections of Seattle University and Rochester Institute of Technology.
