As a scientist-artist I bring together information and expression that bridges mind, heart and spirit. My long career provides me with unlikely knowledge and a broad range of skills. In between book launches I have time for a few wonderful clients.
My intent is to work with creative people whose values aim to serve the greater good, enhance what we know, and how we know.

DISCOVER
Being a scientist is not only about what we do, but rather how we think. No longer in a research lab, I still look to how to solve problems. I find myself inquisitive, always asking questions and how to make things right. I love the challenge of new explorations and discoveries. From seeking tools to ‘fix’ broken white blood cells to mining molecules for their hidden messages, I bring an eclectic experience to guiding people to gaining wisdom, be it for personal healing, commercial use or uncovering microscopic patterns that tell the story of a wine’s life,
I develop creative content based on your needs and intent.
I take photographs, digital and film (yes, film). And as you can see from this site, most of my photography is through a light microscope. I didn’t photograph the visible world until after I got hooked on photographing invisible landscapes and cellular dominions. Now I can do that for you as well, from vineyard to vat, to what’s in your glass.
