After relocating to California, she transitioned from scientist to artist in 2011. Continuing a passion of the scientific process to bridge perspective in her artwork; her site-specific installations integrate a visual articulation; with each artwork revealing a unique observation of an ecosystem, natural event, or of mathematical origin.
