About Me
Hi, I’m Mol! I’m an artist, biologist, and communicator. I went to school to study art, but couldn’t ignore my passion and curiosity for biology, so it wiggled its way into all of my work. Eventually I found my way into Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado’s lab at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, where I now spend my time as a Science Visualization Specialist.
I spend a lot of time looking at electron microscopy images of cells from little worms and snails, which is a huge source of inspiration for me. I’ve been making things my entire life and I’m so excited to share some of those things here with you.

Artist Statement
As an artist and a biologist, Mol is driven to create by a never-ending curiosity about the natural world. They approach making with a tenderness, making decisions about color and texture, light and pattern. With such a rich world of observation, it is clear how Mol delights in the act of seeing. Common subjects include anatomy, cells, and aquatic organisms, often drawing from photos taken during trips to the aquarium.
