Michele Banks

I am an artist inspired by science. My work – in watercolor, ink and mixed media – explores themes ranging from microbiology to neuroscience to climate change. My work has been shown at the National Institutes of Health, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Society for Neuroscience and been showcased in Wired, Scientific American and The Scientist. In 2015, I was artist-in-residence at a biological station in Arctic Lapland and in 2018, at an evolutionary biology lab in Paris. My paintings have been featured on journal covers and textbooks. I show my work at festivals, galleries, science meetings and online.
