Explore My Unique Artwork: Photomicrography & Watercolor Creations
My artwork is a fusion of science and creativity, capturing both the microscopic world and expressive abstract forms. I specialize in two main forms of artistic expression:
Photomicrography: The Art of the Invisible
Through high-resolution photomicrographs, I unveil the hidden beauty of the very small, from intricate cellular structures to fascinating microbiological landscapes. My work blends scientific precision with artistic vision, transforming microscopic subjects into mesmerizing visual compositions.
Watercolor Creations & Landscapes
In contrast to my scientific photography, my abstract and representative watercolor paintings explore organic forms, landscapes, and conceptual themes.
Whether you're drawn to the precision of microscopic photography or the fluid expressiveness of watercolor landscapes, my portfolio reflects a passion for both art and education. Browse my gallery to explore how science, creativity, and education intersect in my work.

Spirit of the very small
To decode this image for the educational context:
View through a stereo microscope is represented by the two large main circles. The lower viewing space represents the view of a leaf at the cellular level, showing veins, nuclei and cell walls. In the top viewing space, there is a representation of a Daphnia, or water flea – a common inhabitant of ponds. Also shown in this top viewing space are gram-negative bacilli – representing the model organism E. coli – and unidentified gram positive diplococci, which can be used as a discussion point to enhance students learnings of protein coats. Also pictured are the angles of a corner of a salt crystal, showing the angularity atypical of biological organisms. The surrounding context includes Fusarium, a distinctive banana shaped fungus found in the rhizosphere, some species of which may be pathogenic.
The open nature of the design represents the way that the world of the microscopic connects the different parts of our world – the sea, rivers and creeks represented in blue, life in green, and cascading through the air, carried on the dust, pollen and smoke particles.
This artwork can be used to scaffold the development of the ability to judge the correct scale at which to look for bacteria and other organisms and objects, and as a visual reference of shape and form.
