A painting of my favorite critter by my favorite artist. Here’s what she has to say about it:

I am convinced of a connection between arts education and scientific discovery. Also, I love science.

There is lots more good stuff over at her blog…check it out!

We should invite her to play Volvox 2017! I wonder if she projects Knut Drescher’s videos during her sets.
