Which came first in your life, the science or the art?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The art came first in my life. \u00a0I graduated from art school in 1985, majored in illustration and worked as an illustrator for many years before my art making overlapped with science. \u00a0In 2010, I first started making work inspired by anatomy and also became a certified medical assistant. \u00a0Though I never worked in a doctor’s office, my classes in anatomy were very helpful in making the works in the “Tissue Series”.<\/p>\n

Which sciences relate to your art practice?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For about five years I focused on anatomical imagery and in particular, anatomical cross-sections as my subject matter.<\/p>\n
