In this blog post I would like to share some of the images that have inspired me throughout along this process. I have researched scoured medical textbooks, inspected the textures of the body, and taken a closer look at life through the microscope to find my inspiration. I have been able to explore my love for science and its intersection with art throughout this project. I look forward to the time I get to spend in my studio each week, working on these pieces. Here are some of the images I surround myself with in my studio while working on this project:

I also love to draw inspiration from modern artists; my newest art hero is Pat Perry, an illustrator and art innovator. He works in many different medium- everything from pen and pencil to watercolor and spray paint. The true emotion behind the places he visits and the people he meets shows through his work. Here are a few images that I found to be inspirational in my process:    I hope that through these images, it is easier to understand where I find inspiration to create my paintings, and all the changes my work goes through before it becomes a finished product.

I love the quote you included. How fitting for this post! It's interesting to get to see a behind the scenes peek into your studio. I can see how you were inspired by Pat Perry and at the same time I see how different your work is. Thank you for all the images in this post. It really gives me insight into your process!
