                                              Science Education Through Art

  I have been passionate about both art and science from a very young age. I won an art competition in the 8th grade and bought an easel with the $50 prize money. In high school, I conducted an operant conditioning experiment on tarantulas, much to my mother’s dismay. In college, I found a niche that merged earth and social sciences with art—cartography. I earned a degree and completed graduate classes at the University of Wisconsin in geography and cartography and enjoyed a career in those fields for many years. I continued my science/art interest by recently completing a certificate program at University of Washington in Natural Science Illustration.

I find wonder and feel awe when viewing all aspects of nature. My desire is to constantly expand my knowledge and share this wonder of natural marvels through my artwork. I am eager to educate others about science and art.
