My passion is creating traditional and computer based art and design depicting a broad range of subjects and scales - from 'micro' to 'macro'. A large fraction of my work is based on the idea of using art, design, and aesthetics to clarify biological subject matter. This practical and meaningful use of the visual arts is something I believe in. In this I am able to both impact understanding of scientific subject matter and study and portray the beauty, complexities, and relationships of part to whole in organic structures.

Currently, I am studying at the Medical College of Georgia working to obtain a Masters degree in medical illustration; my undergraduate studies were in Graphic Design and Neuroscience at Drake University. As shown by my work, I have gained as much experience in traditional media as technological media, and am happy to take on a variety of projects.
