I am a visual artist, biologist, and educator. I use comics to make the invisible or esoteric more accessible and to tell stories of the diverse lifeforms that share our world. In 2023, I joined the faculty at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design as an assistant professor of biology.
My field expertise is in neuroscience, evolution, molecular biology, and physiology and I enjoy learning about more areas of science through art.
Please direct all publishing-related inquiries to my agent, Farley Chase. Reach out to me directly if you are interested in a science-related illustration, short comic, zine, or workshop.
