Name: <\/strong>Adrienne DeLoe<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I honestly think they developed simultaneously. I always loved collecting specimens from nature and observing living things in the environment around me. It was natural for me to start drawing those things and making art from what I collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I would say the main disciplines that relate to my work are entomology, botany, and chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What materials do you use to create your artworks? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use real insect specimens, as well as bones, plant materials, shells, paint, and clay. My work truly is mixed media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artwork\/Exhibition you are most proud of: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably my latest body of work Mutations<\/em>, where I created hybrid insect pieces using many different elements from nature. I did this to highlight how humans are altering our environment in irreparable ways that threaten our future on this planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which scientists and\/or artists inspire and\/or have influenced you? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My earliest influence was Georgia O’Keefe. Her connection to her environment and her obvious love of nature had a profound effect on me. Learning about science was something that I also loved growing up, and I have been so fortunate to be able to practice both of the things that I love in my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything else you want to tell us? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work has always been and continues to be about the environment\u2014how precious it is and what we stand to lose if we don’t take care of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
