Science Art Wonder Project- Part 1

This past fall, I applied to take part in this awesome program in the Atlanta area called Science.Art.Wonder, which uniquely provides artists with an alternative research experience, involving them in science education, while also showcasing their art across Atlanta.

After the application process, I anxiously awaited my pairing assignment, and was super excited to be paired with someone working in an earth science (of course!) and then met with my partner a few months ago, learning all about and understanding his important research. I've been working hard to complete my finished piece and accompanying essay by our due date so the artwork will be ready in time for some upcoming spring science-based events. I'll be revealing the final piece and more information on what the research is all about later, but until then, here's a little behind the scenes peek at what I've been working on the past few months...
