Andy Evans
I’m an Aerospace Engineer turned Artist, with a wild curiosity for physics. My practice explores the hidden forces that shape reality — from quantum particles to astronomical events — and translates them into emotional, tactile form. I work across scales where human intuition falters, using art to reveal the behaviours, tensions, and resonances that structure the universe. At the smallest scales, I’m drawn to quantum and nanophotonic phenomena: interactions that are relational, indeterminate, and always in motion. These become sculptural languages — field objects, photon maquettes, and material experiments that echo the way matter behaves before it becomes visible. At the largest scales, I look to cosmic events and gravitational architectures, where awe and vulnerability coexist. The micro and macro mirror each other, and I treat that mirroring as a site of meaning. Ultimately, my work is an inquiry into how forces become forms, how the invisible becomes perceptible, and how the universe expresses itself through scale. Each piece is a negotiation between the human body and the non-human cosmos — a way of standing inside the vastness and listening for its emotional charge.

She spends much of her free time creating artwork primarily in charcoal, chalk pastel pencils, oils and crochet, as well as exploring the wealth of connections between mathematics and art. She shares this interdisciplinary passion with her students in classes like Geometry and Explorations in Mathematics, empowering and engaging them through hands-on activities and active learning, as well as with the public through lectures and workshops at venues such as the Japan America Society of Greater Austin, the Blanton Museum of Art, NerdNite, the Phi Beta Kappa honors society and the Thinkery. She is the author of a TED-Ed video, The Mathematics of Sidewalk Illusions and the co-author of the inquiry-based learning textbook Perspective and Projective Geometry, which won the 2026 Daniel Solow Author’s Award.
Dr. Eliza Wolfson
Eliza Wolfson is a scientific illustrator and microbiologist based in Bristol, UK. From the little furry monsters bouncing around inside her head to the bacteria travelling through her gut, she most loves making the invisible become visible with science-art. Eliza’s sci-art has been used to span all scales of time and space – from millions of years of evolution, to a million miles in an instant, every day is a school day. She has spent over a decade helping scientists from all over the world share their stories in figures, cartoons, games, concept art, comics and workshops. Eliza has a BSc(HONS) in biological sciences and a PhD in microbiology from the University of Edinburgh. Eliza has undertaken 3 postdocs and has 8 years of wet lab experience and more than 10 years of full time illustration experience.
Dr Alizée Armet
Alizée Armet (1991, Bayonne) lives and works between Bilbao (Spain) and Bayonne (France). An artist-researcher who creates hybrid installations at the intersection of plastic, technology, and biology, she is also a researcher, having obtained her PhD in “Art and Technology” from the University of the Basque Country in 2021. Demystifying the myth of singularity, her practice integrates computation, 3D objects, and organic materials.
Lolo Ostia
Rooted in spatial design and photography, Ostia’s practice moves across lens-based work, light, and sculptural form — revealing the dialogue between living systems and the designed world, where luminescence and decay become languages of their own. She cultivates living organisms as collaborators, like algae and bacterial cellulose, examining how microbial growth resists, asserts, and transforms. Her commitment to education took root over a decade ago at the International Center of Photography, where she once composed frames, she now proposes conditions: environments in which the work is never fully hers to author. This shift — from controlling an image to entering into dialogue with living systems — sits at the core of her research into interspecies communication and the friction between man-made and microbial growth. She has collaborated with scientists and has authored a paper on Biodesign Education published by Cambridge University Press. She is the inaugural recipient of the Marco Castro Cosio Media, Art and Technology Fellowship from Columbia University. Her artworks has been exhibited internationally, at museums, art fairs, and experimental film screenings across China, Cuba, France, Italy, Peru, Russia, and the United States.
Rachel Jag
Rachel Jag works at the intersection of art, science and technology. She captures subtle forces of energetic fields emotionally and translates them into living visual forms. In her works, energy is felt, while frequencies, become motion, sound, and space, creating experiences that reveal the hidden rhythms from unknown sources. By perceiving and drawing an inner rhythm to then turning data into experience, she invites everyone to wonder, question, and play with the systems that shape our world. “My artwork is never about what ‘I’ want to see, more importantly it is about what is being shown to me and what comes through me. When it’s done, I just put it away, I don’t look for any single ‘interpretation’ or ‘message’, or some sort of translation into words.”
Jeff Tao, PhD
Hello! I have a PhD in Laboratory Medicine and am currently a cover illustrator for science journals. My research focused on developing DNA nanomachines for targeted cancer therapies. I hope you find my portfolio matches the style of art expression you’re looking for for your research!
Dr. H. DRAME
My artistic and research practice explores the intersection of visual arts, literature, science, and intercultural dialogue. Drawing on both scientific and creative perspectives, I am interested in themes such as symmetry, human experience, spirituality, social transformation, and the relationship between art and contemporary society. I integrate scientific reflection, structure, and experimentation into my creative practice, contributing to innovative approaches that connect art, literature, and human experience.
