"Science and art are often seen as opposites, for me, scientific illustration lies at the intersection of the two fields"
I am a Ph.D. in Biology, a neuroscientist by training, a wildlife ecologist by heart, a scientific illustrator and communicator.
My journey led me to pursue formal education in sciences and to develop my illustration skills. I honed my artistic techniques, delving into various mediums, from watercolours that captured the delicate hues of nature to digital tools that allowed for precise renderings. Simultaneously, I delved deeper into scientific studies, expanding my knowledge base and forming a robust foundation for my illustrations.
I invite you to explore my portfolio, a creative work that celebrates the beauty and complexity of our nature
