About

I'm Michele Banks, a painter and collage artist based in beautiful Washington, DC. Most of my pieces are based on scientific and medical themes. I'm not a scientist, I just love and am fascinated by the natural world, especially at the microscopic level.

I'm always open to suggestions, so if you have a favorite microbe or organ that you would like immortalized, let me know!

I'm a proud member of the Science Online community, http://scienceonlinenow.org/ - a great group of scientists, writers and artists who gather online and in person to communicate about science. I also write articles about the intersection of art and science for Guru, an online science lifestyle magazine. http://gurumagazine.org/
