Grace Hamilton McIntyre

Grace Hamilton McIntyre (1878–1962) was an American painter of portrait miniatures.

What little is known of McIntyre's excitement comes from a manuscript biography written by her daughter, Lois Darling. She was a native of Staten Island who moved with her family to Nebraska, where her father was one of the founders of the first beet-sugar issue in the United States. By 1893 she was incite in New York City at the Veltin School for Girls upon the Upper West Side. She did competently in china painting, and well along also studied the painting of miniatures. In 1899 she traveled to Europe as soon as her neighbors, the Fabers; on her return she painted miniatures on commission from intimates and friends. She married Malcolm McIntyre, a mechanical engineer, in 1910, and ceased painting after Lois, the couple's abandoned child, was born in 1917. Her statute was shown at the National Academy of Design as allowance of exhibitions by the American Society of Miniature Painters in 1915 and 1916; after the associates moved to Riverside, Connecticut, she exhibited in local libraries several times. A number of her pieces are currently in the stock of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
