Artist Statement
I am an upcycled scientist, recently retired, no longer teaching, running a research lab or chairing a science department. Now my art studio is my place of thinking and doing. Similar to my science laboratory, it is where I can ask open-ended questions and ponder the big picture, where I can learn from failure and celebrate success.
I create art on the elastic edge of art and science. Life is magnified and sometimes distorted as if viewed through an imaginary lens. My exploded drawings and prints examine whimsical and serious relationships between organisms, humans, history and politics.
