PROJECT VIOLET

2014-2018

Project Violet began for me in May 2014. Sitting in Starbucks, in N. California, drinking my favorite cup of coffee, I found the Wall Street journal that someone had graciously left behind. I was intrigued by the title “Tumor Paint” and had to read the article. I was excited about what I read and as an artist interested in science wanted to work with science labs using their work as my inspiration. I found Project Violet on facebook and finally connected to Dr. Jim Olson through the help of Connor Wojdak. Receiving photos from the lab, I created over 20 pieces inspired by the slides. There are many heroes and heroines in this story, one of them being the Israeli death stalker scorpion who lives only in the Dead Sea. This scorpion, with its special qualities was the impetus for scientific research. My dream is to have a scientist look at my art and say "ah-ha" at the moment of solving a mystery.

Since these are digital art, they can be printed on different media, canvas, paper, glass or aluminum and to the size you want.
