Cellular and Molecular Art and Illustration
Joanna completes biological and scientific illustration concerning the structure of cells, as seen at a microscopic cellular and molecular level. Illustrations can also involve explaining cell structure, their interaction with their environment, their life cycle, their division and death.
The cells themselves are the structural and functional units of all living organisms. Some organisms, such as bacteria, are unicellular, consisting of a single cell. Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular. A human is estimated to have 10 trillion cells. Cells complete functions such as converting nutrients into energy, reproduction, or to fight disease. Each cell is equiped with its own set instructions to complete its task.
As an artist Joanna is able to interpret, research and go on to illustrate cellular and molecular structures. The scientific illustrations are used for teaching, accompanying text in a paper, websites, or any where a visually appealing illustration helps to explain what can not necessarily be photographed or even seen with the naked eye.
