"Better Living with Chemistry" Acrylic Painting

With a background education in Neuroscience, anatomy, science, and medicine continue to inspire my artwork. My paintings merge science with art by re-presenting anatomy through stylized forms and hyper-saturated colors. These bright, clean paintings subvert traditional expectations of anatomical diagrams. "Better Living with Chemistry" is a large, 48"x60" acrylic painting that explores the roles that modern medicine and pharmaceuticals play in our lives. I want to spark conversations about the positive and negative aspects of our healthcare system - namely pharmaceuticals. With personal experience taking life-saving medication from a very young age, there are many pharmaceuticals that are extremely beneficial; however, there are also those with malicious lurking side effects and addictive properties. At what point does medicine go from helping to overprescribing? I am extremely meticulous in my paintings, which is evident from the super crisp, clean lines and edges. I want my paintings to appear almost-digitally created even though they are done entirely by hand without the aid of tape or stencils. Color is also such a guiding force in my work, and this painting is no exception. The striking opaque colors are achieved through several coats of paint - because of this and my meticulous nature, my paintings take quite a long time. All paintings are little pieces of me. I am so passionate about what I do, and every piece shows this. Thank you for supporting my humble little dream and buying original art!
