Artist Statement: Though I have been drawing and painting all my life, I have only recently decided to pursue art after decades in the sciences. Art, to me, has always been therapeutic. Drawing and painting is what I turned to when I needed to relieve stress, or when I needed to work on a problem without actively thinking about it. I have always felt that my creative side worked hand-in-hand with my analytical side, and I discovered this to be especially true as an emerging fluid artist. As a fluid artist, I deal mostly with acrylics but I am starting to expand into alcohol inks and other fluid media. My background in chemistry has given me insight into fluid dynamics, especially when evaluating the physical properties of the media I'm using, such as the roles density and surface tension plays in different fluids. Approaching and using technical or scientific concepts through a different lens--as an artist, as opposed to a chemist or pharmaceutical scientist--has broadened my understanding of fluids in a completely novel way. Needless to say, this has been an eye opening journey and I look forward to delving further into this exciting art form.
Bio: I am a chemist by education, and a pharmaceutical scientist and medical writer by profession. For nearly thirty years, I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a drug development scientist before switching from research to clinical studies and medical writing. I have worked in both the over-the-counter and ethical pharmaceuticals spaces, with a focus on the women's health and oncology therapeutic areas.
