About
Scientific Illustrations
I create hand drawn numberism illustration, capturing the beauty and awe of the natural world by composing the subjects entirely with data that describes them. These pieces take me roughly 50 hours to draw and upwards of a year to research. They are best viewed with a magnifying glass, curiosity, and a little time. The numbers and equations I select provide a scientific portrait of the subject, illustrating them with data that represents their form and function. From measuring the mechanical properties of tendon, to calculating the energy a star spent on creating the atoms found within a single human being; my pieces beg the viewer to look closer and ask meaningful questions about the subjects and the sciences that inspire them.
I began this journey with math anxiety, and found that drawing numbers in a beautiful context improved my relationship with math, providing a new doorway into the sciences. I am now pursuing a Bachelors of science in Biology at Portland State University, funded by the Ford Family Foundation.
I am based out of Portland, OR and work out of my art studio in Workshop St Johns, where you see my work during Open Studio events.
