“Swirling Helix” fine art print

“Swirling 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.

Media: The work is printed with pigment ink on 100% cotton archival paper for vibrant, long-lasting color.

Size: The artwork measures about 9.50 x 13.75 inches on paper, which is 13 x 19 inches.

What’s included: Your selection is printed by me, dated, and signed. The print is delivered unframed—rolled with acid-free protective paper, and mailed in a strong mailing tube. Please tell your framer to use conservation quality materials.

Shipping is free within the continental United States.

DNA in the nucleus is packaged into chromosomes that twist and bend to bring parts close together to activate genes. The framed prints, shown below, are some of the many designs in the “Helix” series celebrating this lively behavior. On the left is “Twisting Helix – Aquamarine Cyan Plum,” and on the right is “Swirling Helix.”
