About me:

I am based in Edmonton Alberta Canada. I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science with Specialization in Immunology and Infection at the U of A and am now in the Afterdegree Nursing program. I’ve found that being immersed in science is somewhat stifling to my artistic and creative thought processes. I wanted to find a way to express my creative side. A hybrid of what I spend most of my time studying, cells and microbes, and art seemed to be the most organic way of expressing myself. There are many strange and wonderful things to be seen under a microscope, examples of a marriage between science and artful design. I created the phage. line of t-shirts as a form of wearable art. “Phage” comes from bacteriophage, a virus-like organism, which is able to reproduce within bacteria. Using a screen-printing method each t-shirt is hand painted onto North American made t-shirts. I have only recently started with this endeavor and hope to expand with designs of other organisms as well as the styles of clothing printed with the original bacteriophage design.
