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 also write articles about the intersection of art and science for The Finch & Pea (thefinchandpea.com/)

Follow me on twitter @artologica to see work in progress and other fun stuff.
