About the art and science:

The “Twirling Helix” artwork begins with pencil on paper to shape the composition; then, portions are painted and digitized. Using digital tools, I add layers of translucent colors to capture the double helix’s flowing shape and dynamic quality.

DNA in the nucleus is packaged into chromosomes that twist and bend to bring parts close together to activate genes. The “Double Helix” fine art series is my impression of this dynamic, plastic-like ability. It’s how the magnificent genome works!

Below are framed examples of the “Twirling Helix” designs: “Crimson Graphite Purple” is on the left, and “Chocolate Ochre Cherry” is on the right.
