Hi everyone! I’m a planetary scientist who studied clouds on brown dwarf & exoplanet atmospheres. I left academia to start my own business, connecting my passions of science + art. I create unique multi-spectral space paintings by combining different wavelengths of light in interesting patterns. 🔭🐡

Three paintings, from top left: (1) Jupiter’s Great Red Spot with a rectangle of ultraviolet in purple & a rectangle of infrared, (2) Pillars of Creation in a checkerboard pattern (3) Cosmic Cliffs (not finished yet)

Rudely awaken A young Scansoriopterygid landed next to the tree hole where a group of Jeholopterus was sleeping and rudely woke them up Day 17 of my Ink-marker sketches 🐡 🎨 🧪 #paleontology

Two anurognathid pterosaurs (Jeholopterus) coming out of a tree hole. Only their heads and part of their arms are visible. One of them is opening its mouth widely. A small young Scansoriopterygid is perched on the same tree trunk a little bit higher that the tree hole where the two pterosaurs are

These are as close to "spooky" drawings as I get. There's a somewhat spectral raven, a cuckoo wasp overcome by fungus, and a death's-head moth.

One of the delights locally is seeing a returning osprey population, especially as they go grocery shopping in the nearby river. Meanwhile, dinner is Strangling (Day 5) in its’ talons. 🪶🐡 #SciArtSeptember

Close-up shot of an osprey flying overhead, with dinner, an unlucky fish - maybe a perch - clutched in its’ talons. There are several breeding pairs that fish this river, though I’m unsure whether it’s the ones who nest on a baseball field lamp, who I’ve dubbed Ozzie and Sharon.

#SciArtSeptember Day 5: strangling This symptomatology embroidery, neuraesthenia (2017), depicts the sensation of post-exertional malaise (PEM), the hallmark symptom of ME/CFS. PEM feels like an extreme heaviness, as if the energy system of the body is being strangled. #SciArt 🧶🩺🧪🐡

An embroidery on a pale natural linen, there is the pale outline of a woman’s lower legs and feet, heels together, toes apart. From the soles of the feet, thick red/orange lines coil beneath. From the big toes moving upwards, thick blue and off-white lines rise up through the inner calves and branch off at the knees. These lines coil and intertwine in a brain-like shape, and then move back down in wavy lines like a wide skirt around the ankles.

Since I’m busily taking part in both #SciArtSeptember & #MinCup23 here’s a silly linocut with #invertebrates & a rock. 🐡 This linocut illustrates a terrible pun: 'Weevil weevil rock U' rather than "We will, we will rock you," of course. The larger weevil is the extravagant, long-necked 🧵 1/2

As described, this linocut on Japanese paper illustrates a terrible pun: 'Weevil weevil rock U' rather than "We will, we will rock you," of course. It shows two weevils, a grey rock and a letterpress U. The larger of these two weevils is the extravagant, long-necked red and black giraffe weevil (or giraffe-necked weevil or Trachelophorus giraffa) from Madagascar which can grow to as long as an inch or 2.5 cm in length. The smaller of these 2 is Neocoenorrhinus germanicus, a blue-black weevil, merely 3.9 mm (0.15 inches) found in Southwest Asia, southern Siberia, Russia, and parts of Europe. They are shown roughly 4 times life-sized.

A displaying peacock spider. It is covered in fine white hair, has red-orange stripes on top of its head, four obvious green eyes on the front of the head, and a wide abdomen raised high along with two legs also raised to frame it.

It's still #InverteFest! Yay! Here is a Fiddler Crab from Inktober a few years back. I challenged myself to draw it in one session, no base sketch, just grab a pen and go. Fiddler Crabs are big favorites of mine, I'd like to have a brackish water tank some day and keep them again. #SciArt

An ink and wash drawing of a Fiddler Crab. This is a female, with her claws the same size. Males have one claw that is much larger than the other, which they wave around to attract mates. There is a turquoise rectangle behind the crab with a strong cast shadow below it, It is all drawn on white paper.
