Artist Statement
My artwork consists of stylized realism that involves detail found in the natural world, with a hint of fantastical elements. The artwork I create often has sharp and precise linework that aims to capture the detail of nature to create bold and subtle statements, and is meant to inspire a greater appreciation for the natural world. My work as a science communicator centers around the combination and interaction of art and science. My scientific and medical illustration work is sparked by the desire to bridge information gaps and make science more accessible through art.
If I need references for my animal and nature work, I work from live observation or photograph things I want to embody later through art. My fantasy work is often a combination of my own imagination and references, or simply based on what caught my eye and inspired me to create. I enjoy character design and the creation process of whimsical work. For me, inspiration can be found everywhere and my artwork is a showcase of what I find interesting, magical, and bold that I want to share with others.
Partnering scientific knowledge with artistic techniques to support education through media that aims to enhance audience understanding and inspire an appreciation for science.
